2 The search for hadronic SNRs Several historic SNRs have been advocated in the last years to be hadronic SNRs (hadronic = γ-ray emission dominated by π 0 decay) Examples: IC, W, WB, WC, Tycho, Cas A Mostly based on π 0 -bump detected with Fermi-LAT Interaction with molecular clouds Young and middle-aged SNRs TeV emission of these sources (if detected and identified as SNR emission) mostly unresolved or marginally resolved GeV-dominated (in the γ-ray band), hard to track the highest energy particles (if present) TeV image of Tycho s SNR VERITAS coll. π 0 bump XMM-Newton view of the SNR HESS J X-ray Universe, Rome, June 6-
