Cosmic Rays in the Galactic Magnetic Field — •Arjen René van Vliet — II. Institute for Theoretical Physics, Hamburg, Germany
Cosmic rays with energies up to 1020 eV have been detected by the Pierre Auger Collaboration and other experiments. There are still many unanswered questions concerning cosmic rays in this ultra-high-energy regime. For instance the measured structure of the flux, the incoming direction and the composition of the cosmic rays still bare question-marks. A possible explanation for these three problems, involving the interaction of these cosmic rays with the galactic magnetic field, will be presented in this talk.
