Cosmic a cosmic ray spectral model at Earth.

These are the spectra assumed in this CTA study: Table 3 in https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013APh….43..171B

The hadronic spectra are simple power-laws, the electron spectrum is the sum of a power law and a log-normal component to model the “Fermi shoulder”.
