Summary
The energy spectrum of primary protons atE 0≥1019 eV,i.e. the steepening around 1019 eV can nicely be explained within the framework of stochastic space-time. Moreover, the complete cut-off of UHCR (ultrahigh-energy cosmic-ray) spectrum can also be avoided and a flattening is favoured without considering the extragalactic component of cosmic rays.
Riassunto
Lo spettro d'energia dei protoni delle primarie perE 0≥1019 eV, cioè la sua forte inclinazione intorno a 1019 eV si può spiegare agevolmente nell'ambito dello spaziotempo stocastico. Inoltre il taglio completo di UHCR (raggi cosmici ad energie ultra alte) può anche essere evitato e si privilegia un appiattimento senza considerare la componente extragalattica dei raggi cosmici.
Резюме
Поведение энергетического спектра первичных протонов приE 0≥≥1019 эВ может быть обьяснено в рамках стохастического пространства-времени. Кроме того, можно избежать полного обрезания спектра космических лучей ультравысоких энергий и можно получить более сглаженный спектр без рассмотрения экстрагалактической компоненты космических лучей.
