BL Lacs are probable sources of UHECR

We identify the subset of cosmic rays observed by AGASA and Yakutsk experiments which exhibits the largest degree of autocorrelations. We search for astrophysical sources which can be responsible for these autocorrelations and find significant correlations with BL Lacs at small angles (approx 2 deg....

Description
Summary:We identify the subset of cosmic rays observed by AGASA and Yakutsk experiments which exhibits the largest degree of autocorrelations. We search for astrophysical sources which can be responsible for these autocorrelations and find significant correlations with BL Lacs at small angles (approx 2 deg. ) with probability of statistical fluctuation to be 3 x 10 sup - sup 4 , including all penalties.
