37. In the GeV range covered by Fermi, the diffuse (Equation presented)-ray background flux means the unresolved flux from the sky, while the diffuse (Equation presented)-ray and neutrino backgrounds in the PeV range, which we discuss here, include contributions from resolved and unresolved sources.

51. M. Minamino (GRAPES-3 Collaboration), Proceedings of the 31st ICRC, Łódź, Poland (2009). We only use limits on the isotropic (Equation presented)-ray emission. In the preprint version of this manuscript we also included GRAPES-3 limits in the inner and outer GP. However, these limits are in conflict with observations by Milagro.

53. Galactic magnetic fields are expected to be weaker at the outer halo with less efficient diffusion. It is not easy for (Equation presented) CRs to be confined for (Equation presented), unless the diffusion coefficient in the halo is smaller than that in the disk.
