An underlying assumption for this model is that the source spectrum is steeper than an \(E^{-2}\) energy distribution. This assumption is based on typical observations and theoretical considerations of cosmic ray sources. The steeper spectrum implies that there is a relatively higher abundance of lower-energy particles compared to the higher-energy ones, which influences the overall intensity and energy distribution of emitted particles, including neutrinos.

%It's important to note that these considerations are generalized and might vary with specific astrophysical environments and source characteristics. Additional factors, such as the local environment's opacity and the presence of other interaction processes, can also impact the overall neutrino production and escape mechanisms.
