Description

I will review our knowledge about the properties and the origin of the extragalactic gamma-ray background above 100 MeV. Since the universe is transparent to MeV and GeV gamma rays up to very high redshifts, the extragalactic gamma-ray background contains the imprint of all gamma-ray emission from the beginning of star formation until the present day. Its properties have important implications in the context of multi-messenger astronomy and put constraints on beyond-the-standard-model physics.
