On the interpretation of the cosmic-ray anisotropy at ultra-high energies
D. S. Gorbunov, P. G. Tinyakov, I. I. Tkachev +1
A natural interpretation of the correlation between nearby Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and the highest-energy cosmic rays observed recently by the Pierre Auger Collaboration is th…
Muon content of ultra-high-energy air showers: Yakutsk data versus simulations
A. V. Glushkov, I. T. Makarov, M. I. Pravdin +4
We analyse a sample of 33 extensive air showers (EAS) with estimated primary energies above 2\cdot 10^{19} eV and high-quality muon data recorded by the Yakutsk EAS array. We compa…
Air-shower simulations with and without thinning: artificial fluctuations and their suppression
D. S. Gorbunov, G. I. Rubtsov, S. V. Troitsky
The most common way to simplify extensive Monte-Carlo simulations of air showers is to use the thinning approximation. We study its effect on the physical parameters reconstructed…
Long-lived neutralino and ultra-high energy cosmic rays
D. S. Gorbunov, S. V. Troitsky
Secondary photons from decays of metastable neutralinos can contribute to the ultra-high energy cosmic ray flux. The neutralino production rate is too low in acceleration mechanism…
