Sidereal anisotropy of cosmic rays
The data of the ionization chamber in Yakutsk for 1954 to 1984 are analyzed. A false sidereal variation caused by the second spherical harmonic in cosmic ray distribution was found and it has the amplitude 0.020 plus or minus 0.002%. The sidereal anisotropy with a very small amplitude (not more than 0.005%) was observed to exist
Change of cosmic ray anisotropy with solar activity
Muon telescope data at various depths underground in Yakutsk within energy range 10 to 300 GeV for 1957 to 1984 are analyzed. The 22-year variation of the interplanetary magnetic field aligned component is found. The variation is caused by interaction of heliomagnetosphere with the local galactic field and interstellar wind
GZK photons as UHECR above 10 eV
"GZK photons" are produced by extragalactic nucleons through the resonant
photoproduction of pions. We present the expected range of the GZK photon
fraction of UHECR, assuming a particular UHECR spectrum and primary nucleons,
and compare it with the minimal photon fraction predicted by Top-Down models.Comment: Talk given at TAUP2005, Sept. 10-14 2005, Zaragoza (Spain); 3 pages,
