In this paper we discuss the anti-GZK effect that arises in the framework of the diffusive propagation of Ultra High Energy (UHE) protons. This effect consists in a jump-like increase of the maximum distance from which UHE protons can reach…
We study the extragalactic protons with universal spectrum, which is independent of mode of propagation, when distance between sources is less than the propagation lengths, such as energy attenuation length or diffusion length (for…
We study the effect of random extra-galactic magnetic fields on the propagation of protons of energy larger than $10^{19}$ eV. We show that for reasonable field values (in the 100 nG range) the transition between diffusive and ballistic…
Ultrahigh energy (UHE) extragalactic protons propagating through cosmic microwave radiation (CMB) acquire the spectrum features in the form of the dip, bump (pile-up protons) and the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin (GZK) cutoff. We have performed…
In this general introduction to Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) we discuss the propagation of UHE protons and the GZK feature that is expected approaching $10^{20}\eV$ for homogeneously distributed sources. We also briefly present…
In a gravitationally unstable universe, the structure of dark matter and galaxies, intergalactic gas and magnetic field can have severe impact on the propagation of ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) (Ryu & Kang, this proceedings). The…
The status of the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin (GZK) cutoff and pair-production dip in Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) is discussed.They are the features in the spectrum of protons propagating through CMB radiation in extragalactic space,…
We discuss the effects of diffusion of high energy cosmic rays in turbulent extra-galactic magnetic fields. We find an approximate expression for the low energy suppression of the spectrum of the different mass components (with charge $Z$)…
The significant attenuation of the cosmic-ray flux above $\sim 5 10^{19}$ eV suggests that the observed high-energy spectrum is shaped by the so-called GZK effect. This interaction of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) with the ambient…
Extragalactic cosmic ray protons with an injection spectrum of the type $E^{-2.7}$ show a spectrum on earth with a dip due to the Bethe-Heitler pair production against the photons of the cosmic microwave background. The dip is produced in…
This paper summarizes recent developments in the study of the propagation of ultra-high energy cosmic ray protons or nuclei in the Universe, with emphasis on the consequences of energy losses and on the influence of extra-galactic magnetic…
The dip is a feature in the diffuse spectrum of ultra-high energy (UHE) protons caused by electron-positron pair production on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. For a power-law generation spectrum $E^{-2.7}$, the calculated…
The maximum distance bound for ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECR) with energies above the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmich cutoff $\sim 10^{19} eV$ relaxes significantly if there is some mechanism that forces UHECR to propagate in discrete…
The detection of the GZK feature in the cosmic ray spectrum, resultingfrom the production of pions by ultra-high energy protons scattering off the cosmic microwave background (CMB), can shed light on the mysterious sources of these high…
We studied how the intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF) affects the propagation of super-GZK protons that originate from extragalactic sources within the local GZK sphere. Toward this end, we set up hypothetical sources of ultra-high-energy…
We present a detailed analytical study of the propagation of ultra high energy (UHE) particles in extragalactic magnetic fields. The crucial parameter which affects the diffuse spectrum is the separation between sources. In the case of a…
The dip is a feature in the diffuse spectrum of UHE protons in energy range $1\times 10^{18} - 4\times 10^{19}$ eV, which is caused by electron-positron pair production on CMB photons. Calculated for power-law generation spectrum with index…
We present detailed numerical simulations and analytical approximations of the propagation of nucleons above 10**(19) eV in the Local Supercluster, assuming that the ambient magnetic field is turbulent, and its strength 0.01 < B_rms < 1…
We discuss the production of ultra high energy secondary protons by cosmic ray primary nuclei propagating in the intergalactic space through Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and Infrared (IR) radiations. Under the assumption that only…
In a recently proposed model the cosmic rays spectrum at energies above 10^{18} eV can be fitted with a minimal number of unknown parameters assuming that the extragalactic cosmic rays are only protons with a power law source spectrum…
