Abstract

Anisotropy in arrival directions of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays offers the most direct way to search for the sources of these particles. We present estimates of the angular correlation in the HiRes sample of stereo events above 10¹⁹ eV, and in the combined sample of HiRes and AGASA events above 4 × 10¹⁹eV.
