Cosmic-ray electron+positron spectrum from 7 GeV to 2 TeV with the Fermi Large Area Telescope


Abstract in English

We present a measurement of the cosmic-ray electron+positron spectrum between 7 GeV and 2 TeV performed with almost seven years of data collected with the Fermi Large Area Telescope. We find that the spectrum is well fit by a broken power law with a break energy at about 50 GeV. Above 50 GeV, the spectrum is well described by a single power law with a spectral index of $3.07 pm 0.02 ; (text{stat+syst}) pm 0.04 ; (text{energy measurement})$. An exponential cutoff lower than 1.8 TeV is excluded at 95% CL.
