Measurement of Diffuse Galactic gamma-ray Emission based on source-deduction method at Galactic plane

The Diffuse Galactic gamma-ray Emission (DGE), mainly produced via interactions between cosmic rays and the interstellar medium and/or radiation field, is a crucial probe of the distribution, propagation, and interaction of cosmic rays in the Milky Way. Using the source-deduction method and the latest data of WCDA and KM2A, we have preliminarily measured this emission and present the energy spectra of diffuse emission in the Inner Galaxy region ( 15°< l <125°, |b| < 5°) and the Outer Galaxy region (125°< l < 235°, |b| < 5°). Additionally, we found that the spatial distribution of the diffuse emission deviates from the Planck Dust map, suggesting distinct astrophysical origins. These findings offer valuable insights into the properties of diffuse gamma-ray emissions and highlight the need for refined methodologies to better understand the underlying astrophysical processes.

Abstract

The Diffuse Galactic gamma-ray Emission (DGE), mainly produced via interactions between cosmic rays and the interstellar medium and/or radiation field, is a crucial probe of the distribution, propagation, and interaction of cosmic rays in the Milky Way. Using the source-deduction method and the latest data of WCDA and KM2A, we have preliminarily measured this emission and present the energy spectra of diffuse emission in the Inner Galaxy region ( 15°< l <125°, |b| < 5°) and the Outer Galaxy region (125°< l < 235°, |b| < 5°). Additionally, we found that the spatial distribution of the diffuse emission deviates from the Planck Dust map, suggesting distinct astrophysical origins. These findings offer valuable insights into the properties of diffuse gamma-ray emissions and highlight the need for refined methodologies to better understand the underlying astrophysical processes.
