Summary

Gamma-rays provide us with a direct probe of cosmic rays in still in their sources of origin, or interacting with the interstellar medium. The last two decades have seen a remarkable coming of age of gamma-ray astronomy, with ground based experiments like H.E.S.S., MAGIC, VERITAS and HAWC targeting gamma-rays above >100 GeV, and space-based instruments like Fermi-LAT targeting the 100 MeV-100 GeV range.
