Calculations (γ -ray related) Vectorization options Heliospheric modulation: routinely force-field, can use Potgieter model 1.For a given propagation parameters: propagate p, e, nuclei, secondaries (currently in 2D) 2.The propagated distributions are stored 3.With propagated spectra: calculate the emissivities (π 0 -decay, IC, bremss) in every grid point 4.Integrate the emissivities over the line of sight: GALPROP has a full 3D grid, but currently only 2D gas maps (H2, H I, H II) Using actual annular maps (column density) at the final step High latitudes above b=40˚ -using integrated H I distribution

Gamma rays: GLAST is scheduled to launch in 2007 – diffuse gamma rays is one of its priority goals CR species: New measurements at LE & HE simultaneously are highly desirable (Pamela, S-TIGER, AMS…), sec. positrons !
