Studies of the UHECR propagation in the Galactic Magnetic Field
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the results of simulations of the ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) propagation in the Galactic magnetic field (GMF). Different assumptions on the large-scale GMF structure and/or primary particle lead to distinctly different deflection patterns of the highest energy cosmic rays (CR). The GMF modifies the exposure of an UHECR experiment to the extragalactic sky. We estimated these effects for the Pierre Auger experiment. Further forward-tracking studies under plausible UHECR sources scenarios will allow for direct comparison with the observed correlation between the nearby active galactic nuclei (AGN) and the highest energy Auger events.

Galactic Magnetic Field Structure and Ultra High Energy Cosmic Ray Propagation
We consider the effects of the Galactic magnetic field on the propagation of ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). By employing two methods of trajectory simulation, we investigate the possibility that UHECRs are produced within the Galaxy with paths strongly influenced by the Galactic magnetic field. Such trajectories have the potential to reconcile the existing conflict between proposed loc...
متن کاملSignatures of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray Composition from Propagation of Nuclei in Intergalactic Photon Fields
We present a calculation of nuclei propagation with energies above 1018 eV in the intergalactic photon field. The calculation is based on a Monte Carlo approach for the nucleus-photon interaction as well as the intergalactic magnetic field. We then assume that the Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) are nuclei which are emitted from extra-galactic point sources. Four bumps are found in the en...
متن کاملCorrelations and Charge Composition of UHECR without Knowledge of Galactic Magnetic Field
We develop a formalism which allows to study correlations of charged UHECR with potential sources without using any Galactic Magnetic Field (GMF) model. The method is free of subjective chose of parameters on which the significance of correlations depends strongly. We show that correlations of the AGASA dataset with BL Lacs (found previously after reconstruction of particle trajectories in a sp...
متن کاملUHECR propagation in the Galaxy: clustering versus isotropy
Recently the AGASA Collaboration presented data suggesting a significant clustering of ultra-high energy cosmic rays coming from the outer Galaxy region. In this paper we calculate expected cosmic ray arrival distributions for several simple, limiting source location scenarios and investigate the possibility of clustering and correlation effects. The role of the Galactic magnetic field is discu...
متن کاملWave Propagation in Rectangular Nanoplates Based on a New Strain Gradient Elasticity Theory with Considering in-Plane Magnetic Field
In this paper, on the basis of a new strain gradient elasticity theory, wave propagation in rectangular nanoplates by considering in-plane magnetic field is studied. This strain gradient theory has two gradient parameters and has the ability to compare with the nonlocal elasticity theory. From the best knowledge of author, it is the first time that this theory is used for investigating wave pro...
