• Inclusive spectra: e- + e+ Electrons, unlike protons, lose energy rapidly by Synchrotron and Inverse Compton: at very high energy they probe the nearby sources
• Charge composition: e+/(e- + e+) and p/(p + p) ratios e+ and p are produced by the interactions of high-energy cosmic rays with the interstellar matter (secondary production) There might be signals from additional (astrophysical or exotic) sources
• Different measurements provide complementary information of the origin, acceleration and propagation of cosmic rays
All available data must be interpreted in a coherent scenario

Fermi CRE spectrum can be reproduced by the “conventional” Galactic cosmic-ray source model, with harder injection spectral index (-2.42) than in a pre-Fermi conventional model (-2.54). All that within our current uncertainties, both statistical and systematic.

Implication from Fermi-LAT CRE (2)
New “conventional” CRE models
Old “conventional” CRE Model
Now include recent PAMELA result on positron fraction
• Qualitative approach: the harder primary CRE spectrum is, the steeper secondary-to-primary e+/e- ratio should be. PAMELA shows the opposite.
Precise Fermi measurement increases the discrepancy between a purely secondary origin for positrons, and the positron fraction measured by PAMELA.
Tsunefumi Mizuno 26
Fermi_PIC2009.ppt
Implication from Fermi-LAT CRE (3)
An example of the fit to both Fermi and PAMELA data with Monogem and Geminga with a nominal choice for the e+/e- injection parameter (blue lines). Works well.
(Discrepancy in positron fraction in low energy can be understood as the charge-sign effect of solar modulation)
It is becoming clear that we are dealing with at least 3 distinct origins of HE e-/e+
Uniformly distributed distant sources, likely SNRs.
Unavoidable e+e- production by CRs and the ISM
And those that create positron excess at high energies. Nearby (d<1 kpc) and Mature (104 - 106 yr) pulsars?
“conventional” sources
Tsunefumi Mizuno 27
Fermi_PIC2009.ppt
Dark Matter InterpretationDark Matter Interpretation
• We need local sources (astrophysical or exotic). The origin is still unclear but is strongly constrained by Fermi data (+ others)
What said about pulsars is applicable to dark matter as sources of e- and e+. PAMELA and Fermi data tighten the DM constraints, favoring pure e+e-, lepto-philic, or super-heavy DM models.

• SNRs are the most favored explanations for the origin of Galactic CRs.Diffusive shock acceleration in SNR shell. Sufficient to supply CRs up to knee.
• Significant progress in recent years in keV and TeV observation of young SNRs.• Key issues to be addressed by Fermi-LAT:
Searching for pion signatures & measuring total energy content per SNR
• Several possible associations to SNRs in the LAT bright source list including

SummarySummary• Presented a very biased summary of gamma-ray particle astrophysics
• Long history of more than 40 years. Significant progresses in recent years by Air Cherenkov Telescopes and Fermi.
• Fermi view of GRBs: >240 GRBs, 9 detected by LAT (as of June 2009) GRB080916C & GRB090510
strongly constrains the bulk Lorentz factor, Lorentz invariance, etc..• CR electrons by Fermi + PAMELA and other data.
Local sources are required. Nearby mature pulsars. Constrains on DM scenario
• Diffuse gamma-rays as a probe of Galactic CRs non-GeV-excess. Local CRs close to those measured at the Earch. Is able to map out CR distribution in the Galaxy
• Found extended sources positionally associated with SNR. Resolved LMC for the first time. BL Lacs are favored (than FSRQs) as the origin of UHECR.

• Mask point sources (52 total) and subtract the residual point source
contributions. Also subtract the IC contributions.• Correlation from 100 MeV to 10 GeV. The slope gives the -ray
emissivity spectrum of local HI gas produced through interactions
with CRs.

X-ray:• Thermal emission by shock-heated plasma (kT=0.2 keV)• Central region due to cloud evapolation?
Radio:• Peaks are HII region• Synchrotron radiation is well matched with thermal X-rays
GeV gamma-ray:• Origin?• Very high luminosity (~4 x 1035 erg/s) using 6 kpc
