Igor V. Moskalenko 5 October 24, 2006SCIPP/UCSC Diffuse Galactic Gamma-ray Emission ~80% of total Milky Way luminosity at HE !!! Tracer of CR (p, e − ) interactions in the ISM (π 0,IC,bremss): oStudy of CR species in distant locations (spectra & intensities) CR acceleration (SNRs, pulsars etc.) and propagation oEmission from local clouds → local CR spectra CR variations, Solar modulation oMay contain signatures of exotic physics (dark matter etc.) Cosmology, SUSY, hints for accelerator experiments oBackground for point sources (positions, low latitude sources…) Besides: o“Diffuse” emission from other normal galaxies (M31, LMC, SMC) Cosmic rays in other galaxies ! oForeground in studies of the extragalactic diffuse emission oExtragalactic diffuse emission (blazars ?) may contain signatures of exotic physics (dark matter, BH evaporation etc.) Calculation requires knowledge of CR (p,e) spectra in the entire Galaxy

Igor V. Moskalenko 10 October 24, 2006SCIPP/UCSC Positron Excess ? Are all the excesses connected somehow ? A signature of a new physics (DM) ? Caveats: Systematic errors ? A local source of primary positrons ?
