Description

Data of comparison of propagation tools CRPropa (3.1.7) and PropPy (1.0.0) for cosmic-ray propagation in plasmoids in active galactic nuclei (AGN) jets as well as in the intergalactic magnetic fields (IGMFs).

Data can be reproduced by following the jupyter notebooks presented in the PropPy package: link.

Simulation parameters

AGN plasmoids: particle energy = 100 PeV, isotropic 3d Kolmogorov turbulence with \(b_\mathrm{rms} = 1\)G, correlation length = \(10^{11}\) m.

UHCRS in IGMFs: particle energy = 10 EeV, isotropic 3d Kolmogorov turbulence with \(b_\mathrm{rms} = 1\)nG, correlation length = 1 Mpc.
