A doublet of cosmic-ray events with primary energies >1020 eV
Abstract
The Telescope Array Collaboration has observed a cosmic-ray event with estimated primary energy of 1.38 • 1020 eV whose arrival direction coincides [T. Abu-Zayyad et al. (Telescope Array Collaboration), arXiv:1205.5984], given the angular resolution of 1.5°, with that of an event with estimated primary energy of 1.23 • 1020 eV observed by the Pierre Auger Observatory. The total number of events with energies >1020 eV published by both experiments is six. I estimate the statistical significance of the doublet, which is rather weak, and point out that the arrival directions of events in the doublet coincide with the Galactic X-ray source Aql X-1.
