Accelerators in the KEK, Tsukuba Mar. 14, Deflection angles of protons with eV in GMF The positional correlation is lost in the direction of the Galactic center due to strong deflections. In the direction of the Galactic anti-center, the BSS models predicts smaller deflections than the ASS models. Thus, the northern observatories (such as Telescope Array) have an important role for correlation studies. A blue region is toward Cen A. What deflection angles do the arriving protons experience ?

Accelerators in the KEK, Tsukuba Mar. 14, Summary We have investigated the possibility of the charged particle astronomy before the Auger results using simulations including realistic models of UHECR source distribution and EGMF. 500 and O(1000) event detections above eV can unveil the local distribution of UHECR sources for and Mpc -3, respectively even if EGMF is considered. Galactic magnetic field contributes to the deflection of UHE protons to some extent. Due to the GMF, UHECR observatories in the northern hemisphere are favored for positional correlation studies.
