Understand

The interactions of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) in extragalactic space with photons of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and extragalactic background light (EBL) can generate high-energy neutrinos and photons.

Simulations of UHECR propagation require knowledge about physical quantities such as the spectrum of the EBL and photodisintegration cross sections.
These assumptions, as well as the approximations used in the codes, may influence the computed UHECR spectrum and composition, and the associated cosmogenic neutrino and photon fluxes.
Following up on our previous work where we studied the effects of these uncertainties on the UHECR spectrum and composition, here we quantify those on neutrino fluxes and production rates of photons, electrons, and positrons, using the Monte Carlo codes CRPropa and SimProp, in various astrophysical scenarios.
