Abstract

We present the results of the gamma-ray flux distribution analysis on 145 gamma-ray bright blazars observed by Fermi-LAT. For the gamma-ray flux distribution, we applied a log-normal distribution to discuss the nature of the high-energy emission processes of blazars and a power-law distribution convolved with a Poisson distribution to investigate the implications of gamma-ray bright blazars for neutrino emission. Both distributions can represent the observed flux distributions as well. The leptonic models, which give the physical relationship between neutrinos and gamma rays, indicate that the flaring contribution to the neutrino emission can be dominant for the power-law index less than ∼2.5. From the power-law distribution analysis, we found that the power-law index < 2.5 accounts for the 82 % blazars. This result suggests that the flaring contribution of blazars is dominant for high-energy neutrino emission.
