Description
The bulk of cosmic rays (CRs) which we measure within the Solar System is believed to be representative of the sea CRs everywhere in the Galaxy . However, the local CR flux might be due to one or few local sources . Here we investigate the possibility of measuring the level of Galactic sea CRs by combining the high spatial resolution gamma ray maps, becoming available now from
state of the art instruments, GLAST and IACTs, and molecular line observations tracing the matter density of the ISM.
