چکیده
We describe the results of a hybrid matrix{Monte Carlo calculation of cascading of UHE cosmic rays through the cosmic background radiation elds over cosmological distances. We calculate the-ray and neutrino emission that results from the cascade, as well as the eeect of cascading on the primary spectrum. We discuss the results for various cosmic ray injection spectra.

متن کاملConstrained Simulations of the Magnetic Field in the Local Universe and the Propagation of UHECRs
We use simulations of large-scale structure formation to study the build-up of magnetic fields (MFs) in the intergalactic medium. Our basic assumption is that cosmological MFs grow in a magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) amplification process driven by structure formation out of a magnetic seed field present at high redshift. This approach is motivated by previous simulations of the MFs in galaxy clus...
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Propagation of UHE protons through a magnetized large scale structure
The propagation of UHECRs is affected by the intergalactic magnetic fields that were produced during the course of the large scale structure formation of the universe. We adopt a novel model where the large scale extragalactic magnetic fields (EGMF) are estimated from local dynamic properties of the gas flows in hydrodynamic simulations of a concordance ΛCDM universe. With the model magnetic fi...
متن کاملCosmogenic Neutrinos from the propagation of Ultra High Energy Nuclei
We calculate the flux of neutrinos generated by the propagation of ultra-high energy nuclei over cosmological distances. The propagation takes into account the interactions with cosmic background radiations including the CMB and the most recent estimates of higher energy (infra-red, optical, and ultra violet) backgrounds. We assume that the composition of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) ...
متن کاملSmall Scale Anisotropy Predictions for the Auger Observatory
We study the small scale anisotropy signal expected at the Pierre Auger Observatory in the next 1, 5, 10, and 15 years of operation, from sources of ultra-high energy (UHE) protons. We numerically propagate UHE protons over cosmological distances using an injection spectrum and normalization that fits current data up to ∼ 10 eV. We characterize possible sources of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (...
