We explore the possibility that the recently detected dipole anisotropy in the arrival directions of~$>8$~EeV ultra-high energy cosmic-rays (UHECRs) arises due to the large-scale structure (LSS). We assume that the cosmic ray sources follow…

The study of cosmic ray anisotropy in the TeV-PeV energy range could provide clues about the origin and propagation of cosmic rays in our galactic neighborhood. Because the observed anisotropy is very small, below the per-mille level, large…

The recent observations revealed that the cosmic-ray (CR) proton spectrum showed a complex structure: the hardening at $\rm \sim 200~GeV$ and softening at $\rm \sim 10~TeV$. However, so far the physical origins of this spectral feature…
