Scientific paper

We present results of Large Particle Monte Carlo simulations of relativistic proton supported hadronic and electromagnetic cascades in the central regions of AGNs. We assume that the relativistic protons are injected into a region filled with UV radiation and with rarified proton-electron thermal plasma. Our results show that electromagnetic spectra produced in this way can be much harder at (h nu) between 100 keV and 10 MeV and can have much weaker annihilation lines than those produced by pure electromagnetic cascades. We also show the energy spectra of escaping relativistic neutrons and neutrinos.
