Abstract:
Pierre Auger collaboration have recently put forward the
hypothesis that the arrival directions of the highest energy cosmic
rays correlate with the subset of local active galactic nuclei
(AGN). We perform a blind test of AGN hypothesis using publicly
available event sets collected by Yakutsk, AGASA, and HiRes
experiments. The consistency of the procedure requires the event
energies to be normalized towards the common energy scale. The
number of correlating events in resulting data-set is 3 of 21 which is consistent with
expected random background.
