A nonrandom component in cosmic rays of energy >= 1014 eV
Abstract
We have been studying1 the distribution of the arrival times of atmospheric Cerenkov light pulses, initiated by cosmic rays of energy >=1014 eV. We have now detected a nonrandom component for tune separations <40 s, and here we discuss the possibility that it has a point-source origin.
