Abstract content
The millisecond pulsars in globular clusters can accelerate leptons at the shock waves originated in collisions of the pulsar winds and/or inside the pulsar magnetospheres. Leptons diffuse gradually through the globular cluster comptonizing stellar and microwave background radiation. We calculate the GeV-TeV $\gamma$-ray spectra for different models of injection of leptons and parameters of the globular clusters. The results of calculations are shown for four specific globular clusters (47 Tuc, Ter 5, M13, and M15) which might be potentially detected by the present Cherenkov telescopes and the planned satellite telescopes (AGILE, GLAST).
