Deflections of cosmic rays in a random component of the Galactic magnetic field

We express the mean square deflections of the ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) caused by the random component of the Galactic magnetic field (GMF) in terms of the GMF power spectrum and use recent measurements of the GMF spectrum to estimate them quantitatively. We find that deflections due to...
