Galactic anisotropy of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays produced by CDM-related mechanisms
Abstract
We briefly review current theoretical and experimental status of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays. We show that ``top-down'' mechanisms of UHE CR which involve heavy relic particle-like objects predict Galactic anisotropy of highest energy cosmic rays at the level of minimum $\sim 20%$. This anisotropy is large enough to be either observed or ruled out in the next generation of experiments.
