We present an analytic solution to diffusion equation for high energy cosmic rays in the expanding universe. The particles are assumed to be ultra-relativistic and they can have energy losses arbitrarily dependent on energy and time. The obtained solution generalizes the Syrovatsky solution, valid for the case when energy losses and diffusion coefficient are time-independent.

  1. Primordial Black Hole Hotspots Beyond Flat Spacetime

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Hotspots around light primordial black holes cool faster in an expanding universe following T_plt ∝ t^{-11/15} and vanish completely in finite time, unlike everlasting hotspots in flat spacetime.

  2. Attenuation of the ultra-high-energy neutrino flux by dark matter scatterings

    hep-ph 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    UHE neutrino flux is attenuated by DM scatterings in intergalactic and galactic media, enabling cross-section limits from events like KM3230213A under mild astrophysical assumptions.

  3. Study of Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars and BL Lacertae Objects as Sources of Diffusive Ultra High-Energy Cosmic Rays

    astro-ph.HE 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    BL Lacs remain consistent with UHECR observations while FSRQs are disfavoured by anisotropy and source density mismatches after propagation modeling.
