Evolution of the ultra high energy cosmic ray spectrum by transport equation

Description

Ultra-high energy proton primaries interacting with the 30K photon background are treated as a transport phenomenon. Baryon number is explicitly conserved and the evolved spectrum develops a bump at a scale of order 5x1019 eV, below the cutoff, due to the pile-up of energy degraded protons. This may correspond in part to the observed ankle structure in the CR spectrum
