Change in cosmic-ray spectrum through the production of electron-positron pairs (analytical approach)

We consider the change in primordial cosmic-ray spectrum through the production of electron-positron pairs in collisions with cosmic microwave background radiation photons. We suggest using these results to estimate the distances to cosmic-ray sources.
