Deflection of ultra-high energy heavy nuclei in the Galactic magnetic field

In this work, we investigate the impacts a potential shift towards a heavy composition at the end of the cosmic ray (CR) spectrum would have on the future data [1, 2]. We present detailed simulations for the propagation of ultra-high energy (UHE) heavy nuclei, with E ≥ 60 EeV, within recent Galactic...
