Diffuse Galactic Gamma-ray Emission~80% of total Milky Way luminosity at HE !!!Tracer of CR (p, e) interactions in the ISM (0,IC,bremss):Study of CR species in distant locations (spectra & intensities)CR acceleration (SNRs, pulsars etc.) and propagationEmission from local clouds local CR spectraCR variations, Solar modulationMay contain signatures of exotic physics (dark matter etc.)Cosmology, SUSY, hints for accelerator experimentsBackground for point sources (positions, low latitude sources)Besides:Diffuse emission from other normal galaxies (M31, LMC, SMC)Cosmic rays in other galaxies !Foreground in studies of the extragalactic diffuse emissionExtragalactic 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

Conventional model vs EGRET data4a-fConventional model consistent with local p,e spectra exhibits the GeV excess: a factor ~20 ICBremssEGWe must have at least 2 diffuse emission models with/without the excess

Based onStrong,Moskalenko,Reimer, 2004, ApJ 613,962 Strong,Moskalenko,Reimer,Digel,Diehl, 2004, A&A 422, L47
Optimized to fit EGRET data (GeV excess: CR spectra)Includes secondary electrons & positronsPulsar/SNR source distributionGradient in X-factor (H2/CO)
Improvements:new HI, CO data (Digel)new interstellar radiation field (Porter)fine adjustments to reflect these new inputs
Examples of model unconvolved and convolved with EGRET PSF

GeV excess: Optimized/Reaccleration modelUses all sky and antiprotons & gammas to fix the nucleon and electron spectra
Uses antiprotons to fix the intensity of CR nucleons @ HEUses gammas to adjustthe nucleon spectrum at LEthe intensity of the CR electrons (uses also synchrotron index)Uses EGRET data up to 100 GeVprotonselectronsx4x1.8antiprotonsEk, GeVEk, GeVEk, GeVpbarse+ -flux-raysStrong etal 2004

Distribution of interstellar gasNeutral interstellar medium most of the interstellar gas mass21-cm H I & 2.6-mm CO (standing for H2)
Differential rotation of the Milky Way plus random motions, streaming, and internal velocity dispersions is largely responsible for the spectrumThis is the best but far from perfect distance measure availableSelf-absorption of HI (21cm) and optical depth effectsDame et al.(1987)Hartmann &Burton (1997)(25, 0)W.

Inner Galaxy regionComparison with EGRET & COMPTEL spectral dataOther regions demonstrate equally good agreement

Convolution with EGRET PSF: Important below 1 GeVA large effect at low energies especially in latitude affecting the overall spectral shapeConvolution itself is model dependent -depends on spectrum, not fully accounted for
