The excess of cosmic-ray positrons in the energy range from 10 GeV to few hundred GeV reported by PAMELA and AMS experiments is not consistent with a pure secondary origin and requires the introduction of a source term. The presence of…
Cosmic rays are atomic nuclei arriving from outer space that reach the highest energies observed in nature. Clues to their origin come from studying the distribution of their arrival directions. Using $3 \times 10^4$ cosmic rays above $8…

Anisotropy in the arrival directions of cosmic rays with energies above 10$^{17}$eV is studied using data from the Akeno 20 km$^2$ array and the Akeno Giant Air Shower Array (AGASA), using a total of about 117,000 showers observed during 11…
We report the analysis of the $10-1000$ TeV large-scale sidereal anisotropy of Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) with the data collected by the Tibet Air Shower Array from October, 1995 to February, 2010. In this analysis, we improve the energy…
Modern X-ray and $\gamma$-ray instruments are revealing a growing class of Galactic non-thermal sources whose emission centroids are measurably offset from the nearest plausible sites of cosmic ray (CR) acceleration. Such "displaced"…

Galactic cosmic rays are believed to be generated by diffusive shock acceleration processes in Supernova Remnants, and the arrival direction is likely determined by the distribution of their sources throughout the Galaxy, in particular by…

We use the GALPROP cosmic ray (CR) framework to model the Galactic CR distributions and associated non-thermal diffuse emissions up to PeV energies. We consider ensembles of discrete, finite lifetime CR sources, e.g.\ supernova remnants…
Deviations from isotropy have been a key tool to identify the sources and the primary type of cosmic rays (CRs) at low energies. We argue that anisotropies due to blind regions induced by the Galactic magnetic field, the cosmological…
