‣ diffusion regime breaks down within mean free path
‣ interaction with turbulent interstellar magnetic field
‣ assuming an underlying dipole anisotropy, fractional localized regions form the effect of magnetic field turbulence
‣ the residual maps provide an image of magnetic field turbulence < 10’s pc
‣ cosmic ray energy spectra might also be affected by this propagation effects

• the wake downstream the interstellar flow develops turbulence from plasma velocity difference across the heliopause (similar to Kelvin-Helmholtz instability)
• charge-exchange processes decelerate the solar wind near the heliopause, producing an effective drag force that pushes the higher ISM density into the heliosheath. This generates Rayleigh-Taylor instability oscillations with amplitude 10’s AU over 100’s years - Liewer et al. (1996).
• charge-exchange processes in plasma-neutral fluid model produces alternate growing and damping of Alfvénic, fast and slow turbulence modes, with amplitude 10-100 AU and slowly propagating downstream along the heliopause - Shaikh & Zank (2010).
‣ The 10-100 AU turbulent ripples propagate outward the ISM and are damped by ion-neutral collisions in mfp ~ 300 AU - Spangler et al. (2011).

• cosmic rays > 100 TeV do not feel the influence of the heliosphere
• cosmic rays < 100 TeV are influenced by the heliosphere from the downstream region
• resonant scattering of 1-10 TeV cosmic rays with 100’s AU turbulence ripples re-organizes the arrival direction distribution
• cosmic rays streaming along the LIMF experience the largest effect from the downstream region, and a minimal effect upstream
• perpendicular scattering is critical and determines the gradient region in cosmic ray arrival direction distribution
‣ evaluations and calculations to verify this scenario

Conclusions
• < 100 TeV cosmic ray anisotropy generated by interaction with the very local interstellar medium
• scattering with turbulence inside and in the outer heliospheric boundary to play an important role to explain large scale and small scale TeV cosmic ray anisotropy
• might explain change of cosmic ray anisotropy between 20 TeV and 400 TeV
• spectral hardening observed by Milagro & ARGO-YBJ from the downstream direction from re-acceleration of a fraction of cosmic rays in stochastic magnetic reconnection within the heliotail
• similar hardening observed by Pamela and CREAM could be related to the heliotail, although astrophysical explanations @ source and from propagation are possible
