The Italian/Dutch satellite BeppoSAX (1996-2002) was one of the most important high-energy astrophysics missions, especially for what concerns the field of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). Its payload housed the Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GRBM), a segmented detector that could, in principle, have observed TGFs as well. Motivated by this possibility, we carried out, for the first time, a systematic search for TGFs in the BeppoSAX data archive, ending up with a sample of 12 TGF candidates. Among them, we also found a peculiar event, whose light curve characteristics may represent the signature of a mirrored Terrestrial Electron Beam (TEB). %G English %L insu-03677015 %U https://insu.hal.science/insu-03677015 %~ INSU %~ METEO %~ UNIV-TLSE3 %~ CNRS %~ CNES %~ OMP %~ OMP-IRAP %~ UNIV-UT3 %~ UT3-INP %~ UT3-TOULOUSEINP %~ TEST3-HALCNRS
