Scientific paper

The contribution of the inverse Compton process to the galactic medium energy (10 to 100 MeV) gamma ray emission was analyzed quantitatively. The method and the basic model calculations were those outlined in existing work, including a calculation of the source function at the sun as a starting point. The novelty introduced here is in the use of both new IR data for the photon field description and new speculations on the cosmic ray electron distribution, based on recent work on SNR's.
