Galactic diffuse gamma-ray flux at the energy about 175 TeV

Astrophysics of Galaxies 2009-05-31 v3 High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena

Abstract

We present an upper limit of galactic diffuse gamma-ray flux, measured with the GAMMA experiment at energy about 175 TeV. The results were obtained using selection of muon poor extensive air showers at mountain level (700 g/cm^2, Mt. Aragats, Armenia) for 5 GeV muon energy threshold. An upper limit for the differential flux at energy E=175+/-25 TeV is equal to (5.8-7.0)x10^-12 [erg m^2 s sr]^-1 for 95% confidence level.
