32. Strictly speaking, for the maximal value of the end point energy given in Fig. 11, the nucleosynthesis bound might forbid a strictly flat spectrum down to the Hz scale. The effective deviation from flatness of the upper dashed line, required by the bound (8), is, however, too small to be significant at the scale of Fig. 11, and in the context of the approximations performed.
