Scientific paper

Our supernova remnant (SNR) model [3a] has been used, together with data on the distribution of gas in the galaxy, to predict the gamma ray intensity as a function of longitude and latitude (l, b). A prominent feature of the predictions for high energy gamma rays, Eγ > 1 TeV, is the presence of rather large fluctuations in intensity from one l, bto another—due to the sto chastic nature of SN explosions which give rise to apparent `sources' of various sizes. Here we make predicitions for the expected Galactic Plane excess intensities at TeV energies. The analysis includes a brief consideration of the EGRET data [6] and the first TeV measured excess at MILAGRO [4].
