    The Fermi mission is operating in low Earth orbit since June 2008, and has collected more than one billion photons from the whole sky in the 100 MeV - 100 GeV band. Thanks to the large acceptance of the Large Area Telescope, a pair-conversion telescope for high-energy electromagnetic radiation, Fermi also provided the largest high-energy cosmic-ray electron sample to date, with about 10k...

    Several independent analyzes of Fermi-LAT results found evidences of a spatial dependence of the cosmic ray (CR) proton spectral index which is not accounted for in conventional models of CR transport in the Galaxy. Moreover, several CR experiments have established the presence of a CR spectral hardening above few hundred GeV. We show that these results may have a relevant impact on the...
