abstract = {The propagation of high energy (HE,E$_γ >$ 100 MeV) and
very high-energy gammarays (VHE, E$_γ >$ 100 GeV) in the
extra-galactic photon field leads to pair- production and
consequently energy-and distance-dependent attenuation of
the primary intensity. The spectroscopy of an increasing
number of extra-galactic objects at HE and VHE energies has
demonstrated indeed the presence of such an attenuation
which in turn has been used to constrain the photon density
in the medium. At large optical depth $(\tau\gtrsim 2)$
potential modifications of pair-production due to competing
but rare processes (as, e.g., the presence of sub-neV axion-
like particle) may be found. Indications for a
pair-production anomaly have previously been found with
VHE-spectra. Here, we present further indications (at the
level of 3.68 $σ$) for a reduced optical depth at high
energies from an analysis of Fermi-LAT data.},
