%In a transparent source scenario, protons are accelerated within regions containing strong magnetic fields. These protons interact with photons, leading to the generation of both neutral and charged pions. While secondary protons might be confined within the acceleration zone, approximately equal amounts of neutrons, as well as the decay products of both neutral and charged pions, escape. Consequently, the energy exiting the source is partitioned among cosmic rays, gamma rays, and neutrinos—the latter originating from the decay of neutrons, neutral pions, and charged pions.

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.
