Abstract
We analyse 30 Galactic globular clusters ( GC ) located off the Galactic plane, using 8 years of Pass 8 Fermi-LAT data in the range 60 MeV - 300 GeV with the analysis down to lower energy being performed for the first time. We refine the prior detections of 5 GC, 47 Tuc, NGC 6093, NGC 6218, NGC 6752 and NGC 7078. We also detect NGC 6254 for the first time. NGC 6093 and NGC 6218 exhibit flat hard spectra in the range 1 - 10 GeV. The lack of a spectral cut-off between 1-4 GeV in NGC 6093 and NGC 6218, suggests other sources of gamma ray emission apart from millisecond pulsars may be important in these GCs.

Metadata are provided both in "article" format (very similar to INSPIRE) as this helps creating
very compact bibliographies which can be beneficial to authors and
