چکیده	Deflection of Cosmic Ray charged particles under the influence of magnetic fields (Galactic and Extragalactic) causes a nearly isotropic distribution of their observed fluxes especially in lower energy ranges. Anyhow, as very high energy cosmic rays experience less deflections in their paths, they may point out the direction of their sources within a few degrees. We used a Galactic magnetic field model to study the possible Galactic sources of these cosmic rays. The propagation of cosmic rays in this Galactic magnetic field is simulated to estimate average deflection angles into their straight-line paths from their sources. Pulsars with suitable characteristics are selected and deflection regions around them are defined. Compared with the observational data (i.e. detected directions of observed CRs), the possibility of a Galactic origin of ultra high energy cosmic rays is examined. We defined deflection angles in terms of energies for sources in a distance d into center and anti-center directions. The probability of observing cosmic rays of di↵erent energies from the direction of a source in a distance d is studied and the possibility of a pulsar origin of very high energy cosmic rays due to some recent models, is discussed.
