48. 15 s, the average values Ā(t) of disintegration histories obtained using Monte Carlo simulations are in very good agreement with the analytic approximation given by Eq. (12). (L. A. Anchordoqui, Ph.D. thesis, UNLP, Argentina, 1998, summary electronically available from astro-ph/9812445.) Deviations from Eq. (11) arise because the actual dependence of the photodisintegration cross section on A has a nonmonotonic variation across the Periodic Table. However, fluctuations due to the different disintegration histories are larger. The latter lead to a spread in A of the order of 10%. For details, see Ref. [7].

52. [JETP Lett. 69, 650 (1999)]. Within the uncertainties of angular resolution, the arrival direction of this event coincides with Fly's Eye event.
53. The latter depends on the exact distance to the sources. The location of NGC 253 is still subject to large uncertainties. See T.J. Davidge and C.J. Pritchet, Astron. J. 100, 102 (1990), and references therein.
54. This expression can be easily obtained by using the formalism sketched in L.A. Anchordoqui, M.T. Dova, L.N. Epele, and J.D. Swain, Phys. Rev. D 55, 7356 (1997), with a constant Γ during propagation. See [28] for details.
