Abstract
- The cosmic ray source spectrum produced by AGN (Active Galactic Nucleus) jets is calculated. A distinctive feature of these calculations is the account for the jet distribution on kinetic energy. The expected cosmic ray spectrum at the Earth is determined with the use of a simple numerical code which takes into account interactions of ultra-high energy protons and nuclei with the background radiation in an expanding universe.<br />Comment: 16 pages, accepted in Advances in Space Research
