The distribution of cosmic rays in the Galaxy at energies above few TeVs is still uncertain and this affects the expectations for the diffuse gamma flux produced by hadronic interactions of cosmic rays with the interstellar gas. We show that the TeV gamma-ray sky can provide interesting constraints. Namely, we compare the flux from the galactic plane measured by Argo-YBJ, HESS, HAWC and Milagro with the expected flux due to diffuse emission and point-like and extended sources observed by HESS showing that experimental data can already discriminate among different hyphoteses for cosmic ray distribution. The constraints can be strengthened if the contribution of sources not resolved by HESS is taken into account.

LHAASO protons versus LHAASO diffuse gamma-rays: a consistency check
The LHAASO proton spectrum, folded with gas maps and interaction models, predicts a diffuse gamma-ray flux that exceeds LHAASO's measured diffuse gamma-ray flux, especially in the inner Galaxy.
