Fig. 2
Average energy loss times of protons interacting with ambient black body radiation of temperature 3 × 105 K with R = 1015 cm introduced here purely for the purpose of checking energy losses. Long-dashed line corresponds to pair production, while full line corresponds to photopion interaction. Units in the y axis are dimensionless, normalised to the light crossing time.
