1 AGASA results Anisotropy of EHE CR arrival direction distribution M. Teshima ICRR, U of Tokyo

2 Contents Anisotropy at 10 18 eV Good evidence for Galactic Cosmic Rays Anisotropy above 10 19 eV Clusters in the arrival directions New Astrophysics

3 Cosmic Ray Propagation in our Galaxy Deflection angle < 1 degree at 10 20 eV Neutrons can travel galactic scale without decaying above 10 18 eV By M.Takeda

4 Candidates for C.R. accelerator Pulsar SNRA.G.N. GRB Radio Galaxy Lobe

5 Anisotropy at 10 18 eV Data A20: (~12km2) for 5years AGASA(~100km2) for 10years Event selection Core Location: inside the array Nhit >= 6 detectors χ core 2 <5.0, χ dir 2 <5.0 Number of Events 284,000 events (>10 17 eV)

6 First Harmonic Analysis (Sep.1986-May.2001, 284,416 events)

7 Galactic Cosmic Rays up to 10 18 eV ●Use 284,000events over 15yrs operation by AGASA+AGASA Prototype ● >4σ near G.C. and -4σ near A.G.C. Amplitude ~4%Statistical Significance

8 Point Sources or Cosmic Ray flow

9 Dipole (G.C.-AGC) distribution Log(E) = 18.0-18.5 G.C Anti G.C.

10 DC excess with 6 degrees rad. Aperture Log(E) = 18.0-18.5

11 Auto-correlation at 18.0-18.5

12 Conclusion Harmonic Analysis, Global excess map (p.s. = 20 o ) Pch < 10 -4 (consistent with previous reports) 4 σ near the GC and -4σ near AGC The anisotropy of cosmic ray arrival direction at 10 18 eV observed by AGASA can be fitted with dipole distribution (GC --- AGC) Point source analysis(p.s. = 6 o ), Self-correlation analysis No evidence for point sources. The data favors the diffuse sources.

13 Arrival Direction Distribution Arrival directions of 59events > 4 x10 19 eV observed by AGASA No Large Scale Anisotropy. Event Clusters: 1Triplet and 6 doublets P(chance) ~ 0.07%. Interacting Galaxy VV141 in the direction of triplet at 100Mpc.

23 Possible Scenario P BCNO He Rigidity dependent? Photo-disintegration cutoff? First bump --- 1ry and 2ndry p/n Second bump --- 1ry He Third bump --- 1ry BCNO Fe Naturally, Fe is expected at 2-3x10 20 eV. p.d.

24 Monte Carlo Realization By T.Yamamoto et al Preliminary Uniform Source Standard Chem. Comp. 10nG Magnetic Field Require Clustering

25 Conclusion (>10 19 eV) Clear evidence for point sources of EHECR Elongated shaped excess of ~10°in 2-D correlation map Consistent with the charged particle deflection by G.M.F. Interesting structures in the energy spectrum of cluster events (Three bumps?) Consistent with P, He, BCNO composition The beginning of the EHECR astronomy

26 To the future Clusters give you important information Sources (Fe primary favors GRB remnants) the chemical composition study for super GZK particle is important G.M.F. structure can be uniquely solved Constrain the inter-galactic Magnetic Field 4πcoverage of sky is really important Northern Hemisphere; Easy to understand G.M.F. structure, because it is simple toward outer galaxy. Southern hemisphere; Observation is essentially important to understand whole G.M.F. structure.

27 Systematics and Resolution In Mono analysis CompositionProton/Fe??? InteractionQGSJET/SIBYLL Scale height of Mie layer In Atmosphere (In Mie Scattering) Horizontal attenuation Scale height 1-D model  reality (locality) E (Rp) dependence 10,000km 2 sr  100% efficiency upto Rp ~ 40km
