We will analyze the importance of varying the diffuse gas radial distribution on the resulting expected cosmic rays spectrum. We use the recent HI density data published by Nakanishi et al. (2004), and include them in the cosmic rays…

Cosmic rays (CRs) with ~GeV energies can contribute significantly to the energy and pressure budget in the interstellar, circumgalactic, and intergalactic medium (ISM, CGM, IGM). Recent cosmological simulations have begun to explore these…

Measurements of the diffuse extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGRB) are complicated by a strong Galactic foreground. Estimates of the EGRB flux and spectrum, obtained by modeling the Galactic emission, have produced a variety of…
