Description
Surveys of the Galactic Plane in TeV gamma rays reveal over 70 TeV sources, most of which are unidentified. The identified sources are associated with supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, compact-stellar binary systems, and diffuse gas. CTA's greatly improved sensitivity is expected to uncover many more sources and the diffuse TeV emission localised around particle accelerators. It may also reveal the large-scale diffuse emission across the Galactic disk. This talk will review the current TeV gamma-ray surveys (e.g from HESS and HAWC), and look at the current efforts within CTA to carry out its Galactic Plane survey and what we might expect. The role of the latest CO ISM surveys will also be covered.
