Sensitivity of a search for cosmic ray sources including magnetic field effects — •Martin Urban, Martin Erdmann, and Gero Müller — III. Physikalisches Institut A, RWTH Aachen University

We analyze the sensitivity of a new method investigating correlations between ultra-high energy cosmic rays and extragalactic sources taking into account deflections in the galactic magnetic field. In comparisons of expected and simulated arrival directions of cosmic rays we evaluate the directional characteristics and magnitude of the field. We show that our method is capable of detecting anisotropy in data sets with a low signal fraction.
