Supplementary Notes
Derivation of the powerlaw spectrum. The notes outline the derivation the solution of the particle transport equation in the limit in which the back-pressure from energetic particles can be neglected. The resulting solution in Eq. (4) of the paper takes the form of a power-law at high energy.
