On ultra-high energy cosmic rays: origin in AGN jets and transport in expanding Universe
arXiv:1105.4491 · doi:10.1016/j.asr.2011.05.022
Abstract
The cosmic ray source spectrum produced by AGN (Active Galactic Nucleus) jets is calculated. A distinctive feature of these calculations is the account for the jet distribution on kinetic energy. The expected cosmic ray spectrum at the Earth is determined with the use of a simple numerical code which takes into account interactions of ultra-high energy protons and nuclei with the background radiation in an expanding universe.
