Opacity of the microwave background radiation to ultrahigh energy cosmic rays
In this work we re-examine the influence of the microwave background radiation on the propagation of extremely high energy cosmic rays. We present a recalculation of the rate of fractional energy loss in the continuous energy loss approximation including the effects of resonances other than the Δ. W...

| Sumario: | In this work we re-examine the influence of the microwave background radiation on the propagation of extremely high energy cosmic rays. We present a recalculation of the rate of fractional energy loss in the continuous energy loss approximation including the effects of resonances other than the Δ. We also discuss the distortion of the cosmic ray spectrum due to interactions with the relic photons. |
