Scientific paper

The interaction between ultrahigh energy cosmic-ray protons and 27 K microwave radiation leads to such features in the differential energy spectrum as a bump due to electron-positron pair production, a dip in electron-positron pair production, a photopion bump, and a 'black-body cut-off'; these features appear consecutively with increasing energy. The spectrum from a single source is calculated as well as those from many sources (diffuse spectra). In Local Supercluster models, the bump is predicted for a large interval of propagation times.
