Scientific paper

The gamma ray latitude distribution for absolute value of b between 10 deg and 90 deg measured by COS-B is compared with the expected emission from cosmic-ray/gas interactions. An additional component is found which is unrelated to the gas, and which may be interpreted as a gamma-ray 'halo'. The possibility of an inverse-Compton origin is discussed using diffuse X-ray data.
