Mock Catalogs for UHECR Studies
Abstract
We provide realistic mock-catalogs of cosmic rays above 40 EeV, for a pure proton composition, assuming their sources are a random subset of ordinary galaxies in a simulated, volume-limited survey, for various choices of source density: 10-3.5 Mpc-3, 10-4.0 Mpc-3 and 10-4.5 Mpc-3. The spectrum at the source is taken to be E-2.3 and the effects of cosmological redshifting as well as photo-pion and e+ e- energy losses are included.
