Abstract
For active galactic nuclei (AGNs) we study the role of the mechanism of quasi-linear diffusion (QLD) in producing the high energy emission in the MeV-GeV domains strongly connected with the submillimeter/infrared radiation. Considering the kinetic equation governing the stationary regime of the QLD we investigate the feedback of the diffusion on electrons. We show that this process leads to the distribution of particles by the pitch angles, implying that the synchrotron mechanism is no longer prevented by energy losses. Examining a reasonable interval of physical parameters, we show that it is possible to produce MeV-GeV gamma-rays, strongly correlated with submillimeter/infrared bands.
