Photons as carriers of ultra-high energy in cosmic space

Absorbing process of ultrahigh-energy gamma-quanta in a cosmic space is investigated. It is shown that the main absorbing mechanism is the reactions arising at collisions of cosmic-ray photons with microwave and radio background ones. Estimate of the mean free path of a photon for different energies...
