TITLE : | Propagation of UHECRs in the Inhomogeneous Source Model |
ABSTRACT : | |
| We have performed the detailed numerical simulations on the propagation
of the UHE protons in the extragalactic magnetic fields within about 40Mpc.
We show the angular-distribution images of the UHE protons assuming
that the source distribution of the UHECRs is proportional to that of the
galaxies of the Optical Redshift Survey catalogue. The calculations of the
correlation between the images and the sources demonstrate that the
number of the current experimental data can not be used in order to
judge whether the source distribution is isotropic or not. It is not
until the number of the detected UHECRs amounts to the order of 1000 that
it is possible to distinguish unisotropic source distribution from
isotropic one. Our method and the data of the next generation experiments
such as EUSO will discriminate the UHECR source distribution models better.
