Table 2: This table indicates the radius inside which a given fraction $f(r_{\rm lim})$ of secondary cosmic rays reaching the center were emitted from, for several L and in the case of a disk of radius R=20 kpc. The last line shows that for small L, the effect of the side boundary is completely negligible.
  $f(r_{\rm lim}) = 50$% $f(r_{\rm lim}) = 90$% $f(r_{\rm lim}) = 99$%
  $R=\infty$ R=20 kpc $R=\infty$ R=20 kpc $R=\infty$ R=20 kpc
$L = \infty$ - 8.6 kpc - 15.3 kpc - 18.5 kpc
