We report the results of 3-D simulations of non-diffusive propagation of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) (E > 10^{20} eV) through the intergalactic and extended halo media. We quantify the expected angular and temporal correlations…

More than 100 years after the discovery of cosmic rays and various experimental efforts, the origin of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (E > 100 PeV) remains unclear. The understanding of production and propagation effects of these highest…
