DC excess with 6 degrees rad. Aperture Log(E) = 18.0-18.5
11
Auto-correlation at 18.0-18.5
12
Conclusion Harmonic Analysis, Global excess map (p.s. = 20 o ) Pch < 10 -4 (consistent with previous reports) 4 σ near the GC and -4σ near AGC The anisotropy of cosmic ray arrival direction at 10 18 eV observed by AGASA can be fitted with dipole distribution (GC --- AGC) Point source analysis(p.s. = 6 o ), Self-correlation analysis No evidence for point sources. The data favors the diffuse sources.

Conclusion (>10 19 eV) Clear evidence for point sources of EHECR Elongated shaped excess of ~10°in 2-D correlation map Consistent with the charged particle deflection by G.M.F. Interesting structures in the energy spectrum of cluster events (Three bumps?) Consistent with P, He, BCNO composition The beginning of the EHECR astronomy

To the future Clusters give you important information Sources (Fe primary favors GRB remnants) the chemical composition study for super GZK particle is important G.M.F. structure can be uniquely solved Constrain the inter-galactic Magnetic Field 4πcoverage of sky is really important Northern Hemisphere; Easy to understand G.M.F. structure, because it is simple toward outer galaxy. Southern hemisphere; Observation is essentially important to understand whole G.M.F. structure.
