WE PROPOSE TO EXPLOIT THE ENTIRE DATABASE OF THE PRESENT RADIO SURVEYS MICROWAVE OBSERVATIONS (WMAP AND PLANCK) X-RAY OBSERVATIONS (INTEGRAL) AND GAMMA-RAY OBSERVATIONS (COMPTEL AND FERMI-LAT) IN ORDER TO ANALYZE THEIR DIFFUSE EMISSION IN A COMBINED MULTI-WAVELENGTH APPROACH. WE WILL JOINTLY INFER INFORMATION ON THE SPECTRA AND DISTRIBUTION OF CRSIN THE GALAXY AND ON GALACTIC B-FIELDS WITH UNPRECEDENTED ACCURACY.
