Research Abstract

In order to investigate the energy and spatial distribution of Galactic cosmic-rays(CRs), we extensively analyzed Galactic diffuse gamma-ray emission. The outcome can be summarized by the following three discoveries :[ 1] The energy spectrum of Galactic CRs are close to those directly measured at the Earth[ 2] On the other hand, the CR density differ by~ 20% in a few 100 pc scale in the vicinity of the solar system[ 3] and the CR density distribution in the outer Galaxy is flatter than expectations based on a conventional model.
