We examine the multi‐wave‐length spectrum of SN1006 utilizing inverse Compton radiation (IC) and π° decay process. Our results match well one based on IC process, as discussed in the previous papers. Those fit enable us to determine physical parameters around the shock accurately. The obtained strength of magnetic field is 4 ± 1 μ G and the maximum accelerated energy in power‐law distribution of the particle is E max = 51 ( B /4 μ G) —0.5 TeV. Energy density of the required electrons exceeds that of the magnetic field so that the system may not be in equipartition.
