title = "Galactic anisotropy as signature of {"}top-down{"} mechanisms of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays",
abstract = "We show that {"}top-down{"} mechanisms of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays which involve heavy relic particle-like objects predict a Galactic anisotropy of the highest-energy cosmic rays at the level of minimum ∼20%. This anisotropy is large enough to be either observed or ruled out in the next generation of experiments.",
