Left: Constraints on blazar logn-logs parameters (break flux, Sb, and faint-end slope, ") from the intensity and anisotropy of the IGRB. Regions in which blazars provide 0% of the observed IGRB anisotropy and mean intensity in the 1 GeV energy band are shown; the widths of the regions indicate the 68% confidence intervals. Below these regions blazars overproduce the anisotropy and mean intensity. Labeled contours show the fraction of the blazar contribution to the IGRB intensity. The best-fit 1! parameter region from the Fermi source count analysis [4] is marked, along with the best-fit Sb [4] (dot-dashed line). -17 Right: Expanded view around the region of parameter space in the left panel where blazars contribute 0% of both the measured IGRB anisotropy and intensity. Anisotropy puts strong constraints on the evolutionary models of blazars (Cuoco+ 1). CGB anisotropy is well explained by known radio-loud AGN achieved quite naturally since some proposed contributors the IGRB, such as star-forming galaxies [8], are populations (Di Mauro+ 14). toexpected to contribute negligibly to the anisotropy. On -18 the other hand, this result implies strong constraints on source populations with large intrinsic anisotropy. We emphasize that the anisotropy and intensity contribu4 scenarios we test an alternative fit to the blazar logn-logs obtained by Stecker and Venters [13]. A notable feature of this alternative fit is that it can account for!60% of the IGRB intensity in the 1 GeV energy band.

23 Summary CGB at MeV band may be come from blazars or Seyferts. Anisotropy measurement will distinguish these two scenarios. CGB above >0 MeV is composed of blazars, radio galaxies, and star-forming galaxies. Cascade emission put a strong limit on the origin of the VHE CGB. Need to check consistency with IceCube neutrino measurements.
