Possible Origin of Clusters in Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic rays
arXiv:astro-ph/0510242 · doi:10.1134/1.2123290
Abstract
We estimate the detection rate of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays on ground based arrays by assuming that the cosmic ray sources are active galactic nuclei. We analyse the cases of detection of clusters, several particles that arrived, within the error limits, from the same area of the sky. The adopted model is shown to explain the detection rate of clusters on the AGASA array.
