• 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

Old “conventional” CRE Model
• Now include recent PAMELA result on positron fraction
• If the secondary positrons only e+/(e- + e+) ~ E^(-P+0); P~2.7 (proton spectral index), 0~2.4 The hard e+ + e- spectrum found by Fermi-LAT sharpens the anomaly

Implication from Fermi-LAT CRE (3)• 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 (e.g., Grasso+ 09)
Nearby GRB (or GRB-like event) (Ioka 09)
Nearby SNR in dense cloud (e.g., Fujita+ 09)
Dark matter (many including Grasso+ 09)
Klein-Nishina effect (Stawarz+ 09, Schlickeiser+ 09)
“conventional” sources
• Fermi data requires an e-/e+ injection spectrum significantly harder than generally expected for shell-type SNRs

Pulsar Scenario
• 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).
(Discrepancy in positron fraction at low energies can be understood as the charge-sign effect of solar modulation)
This particular model assumes:40% e-/e+ conversion efficiency =1.7Ecut=1 TeVDelay=60 kyr

• ATIC data can also be explained by a somewhat harder and older GRB-like event• Chance probability of having such a GRB: ~0.6-6 %

Summary of CRESummary of CRE
• Real breakthrough during last 1-1.5 years in CR electrons: ATIC, HESS,
PAMELA and finally Fermi-LAT• The hard e-/e+ spectrum by Fermi contradicts with PAMELA’s positron
fraction.• We may be coming close to the first detection of cosmic-ray sources• Source nature (astrophysical or exotic) is still unclear but strongly
constrained by the data of Fermi-LAT (+ others)• More results from Fermi-LAT are coming. Extending energy range to 5 GeV –
2 TeV and searching for the CRE anisotropy at a level of ~1%.

• EGRET showed excess emission > 1 GeV everywhere in the sky over the model based on directly measured CRs• a variety of explanations including large CR variation and DM annihilation
• |b|=10°-20°: avoid Gal. plane but still have high statistics• LAT spectrum is significantly softer and does not confirm the EGRET GeV excess

SummarySummary
• Fermi-LAT is a powerful instrument to measure CRs either directly or indirectly
• Fermi-LAT revealed that high-energy e- + e+ spectrum is harder than previously assumed.
this finding + PAMELA positron fraction require local sources (astrophysical or exotic) nearby GRB is one of possible origins Source nature is still unclear but strongly constrained.
• CRs in distant locations can be “measured” by diffuse -rays. EGRET GeV-excess not confirmed. Fermi proves that local CR nuclei spectra are close to those of LIS. CR density distribution in outer Galaxy is being studied.
