Description
Despite several gamma-ray observational campaigns of clusters of galaxies in the last years, both by Fermi-LAT and Cherenkov telescopes, the diffuse high-energy emission that is expected to come from cosmic-ray hadronic interactions with the abundant ambient gas remains elusive. Nevertheless, we significantly improved our understanding of non-thermal phenomena in clusters. I will summarize the most important results obtained so far in this field and their impact on clusters' cosmic-ray physics and magnetic fields, with particular emphasis on the cases of Coma and Perseus. Finally, I will discuss prospects for the future, particularly for the Cherenkov Telescope Array.
