摘要：

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 similar to 20%. This anisotropy is large enough to be either observed or ruled out in the next generation of experiments. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
