The Anisotropy of EHE cosmic rays
1995
The effects of magnetic field turbulence on the anisotropy of galactic cosmic rays of the highest energies are investigated. It is found that, if the cosmic ray flux at energies above 1 EeV is made up predominantly of galactic protons, neither the observed galactic magnetic field turbulence nor possible halo turbulence are sufficient for both the computed anisotropy and galactic flux gradient to agree with observation. The implication is that the origin of these cosmic rays is not within our galaxy.
