Abstract content
We discuss the small scale anisotropy signal predicted for present and future UHECR experiments such as Auger, Telescope Array, Auger North and EUSO. We relax the unrealistic, but commonly used assumption that the sources are all equal and we concentrate our attention on how the expected signal depends on possible distributions of the properties of the sources such as a luminosity function or a varying maximum energy.
