Extensive ultrahigh energy air showers and pulsars

Directions of the arrival of extensive air showers (EASes) of ultrahigh energy detected on world EAS arrays are considered. It is found that the directions of the arrival of some EASes correlate with the pulsars located along magnetic field lines of the local (Orion) arm of the Galaxy. The problem o...

Description
Summary:Directions of the arrival of extensive air showers (EASes) of ultrahigh energy detected on world EAS arrays are considered. It is found that the directions of the arrival of some EASes correlate with the pulsars located along magnetic field lines of the local (Orion) arm of the Galaxy. The problem of cosmic rays origin is discussed.
