Probing cosmic rays in nearby giant molecular clouds with the<i>Fermi</i>Large Area Telescope

We report the results of our study of the energy spectra and absolute fluxes of cosmic rays (CRs) in the Local Galaxy based on a five-year $\gamma$-ray observation with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) of eight nearby giant molecular clouds (GMCs) belonging to the Gould Belt. The $\gamma$-ray signals …
