Supernova remnants (SNRs) have been prime candidates for production sites of Galactic cosmic rays. Among them, those interacting with molecular clouds are good targets for the Large Area Telescope (LAT) aboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, since GeV gamma rays can be expected through neutral pion decays resulting from interactions between accelerated protons and cloud gas. Observations by the Fermi-LAT are expected to confirm or reject the hypothesis that cosmic-ray protons are accelerated at SNRs. Recent observations by Fermi-LAT have revealed the morphological and spectral characteristics of GeV gamma-ray emission from the W44 region, where it is known that the SNR shell is interacting with molecular clouds. Here we report on Fermi-LAT results of the W44 region.
