Effect of Photomeson Production by the Universal Radiation Field on High-Energy Cosmic Rays
Open accessAbstract
We have made a detailed calculation of the lifetime and attentuation mean free path of high-energy cosmic rays against photomeson production. The calculation utilized the results of recent laboratory studies of photomeson production which have become available since 1966. The implications of the result are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
