Gamma-ray background using the HB2010 rates (private communication), together with their prediction (solid red line). The model used is the fully mixed W7 (W99b), but predictions for the other models are qualitatively similar. We show in red the calculations provided by HB2010. Our calculations using their rates are shown in black, and they agree with theirs.
