摘要：

The recent observations of 50 TeV gamma radiation by HEGRA have the potential of determining the extragalactic flux of infrared radiation. The fact that radiation is observed in the range between 30 and 100 TeV sets an upper limit on the infrared flux, while a cutoff at E-gamma approximate to 50 TeV fixes this flux with a good accuracy. If the intrinsic radiation is produced due to interaction of high energy protons with gas or low-energy target photons, then an accompaning high-energy neutrino flux is unavoidable. We calculate this flux and underground muon flux produced by it. The muon flux is dominated by muons with energies about 1 TeV and can be marginally detected by a 1 km(2) detector like an expanded AMANDA. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
