Description
Recent fermi detections of pulsars suggest a larger local density of pulsars that have escaped detection by radio surveys. Pair production from magnetospheres of a population of local pulsars is expected to contribute to the electron-positron abundance recently observed by atic, pamela, and fermi indicating an excess in the 10 to 100 GEV region. We propose to perform a population synthesis of normal and millisecond pulsars from the galactic disk using our previously developed monte carlo computer code. We use polar cap, slot GAP, and outer GAP gamma-RAY emission models to obtain statistics of radio-loud and radio-quiet gamma-RAY pulsars. We will simulate the diffuse gamma-RAY background and assess the contribution to the local cosmic RAY positron spectrum from this local group of pulsars.
