Description: Current estimates of QSO luminosity, number density, evolution, and spectral index are used to study whether the diffuse cosmic ray background is (1) entirely due to thermal bremmstrahlung of the intergalactic medium (IGM), (2) completely supplied by QSO X-rays, or (3) a combination of both. The upper limits on an IGM fractional density with respect to closure are Omega = 0.26, 0.24, and 0.21 for pure collisional, photo/collisional, and pure photoionization, respectively. These calculations give emission spectra, Compton distortion of the microwave background, and optical depths to distant QSOs for comparison with relevant data.
