Large-scale Cosmic-ray Anisotropy with Kascade
We present the results of an analysis of the large-scale anisotropy of cosmic rays in the PeV range. The Rayleigh formalism is applied to the right ascension distribution of extensive air showers measured by the KASCADE (Karlsruhe Shower Core and Array Detector) experiment. The data set contains about 108 extensive air showers in the energy range 0.7–6 PeV. No hints of anisotropy are visible in...
متن کاملLarge Scale Cosmic Rays Anisotropy With IceCube
We report on a study of the anisotropy in the arrival direction of cosmic rays with a median energy per Cosmic Ray (CR) particle of ∼ 14 TeV using data from the IceCube detector. IceCube is a neutrino observatory at the geographical South Pole, when completed it will comprise 80 strings plus 6 additional strings for the low energy array Deep Core. The strings are deployed in the deep ice betwee...
متن کاملSearch for Large-Scale Anisotropy of Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Rays with HiRes Stereo Data
We have searched for correlations between the pointing directions of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays in the data of the High Resolution Fly’s Eye (HiRes) collaboration, and local large scale structure. The HiRes stereo data set (the same used to search for AGN correlations [1]) was used in the search, and the 2 Micron All-Sky Redshift Survey (2MRS) was used to determine the density of galaxies in ...
متن کاملStudies of the cosmic ray spectrum and large scale anisotropies with the KASCADE-Grande experiment
KASCADE-Grande is an air shower observatory devoted to the detection of cosmic rays in the 10 − 10eV energy range. For each event the arrival direction, the total number of charged particles (Nch) and the total number of muons (Nμ), at detection level (i.e. 110 m a.s.l.), are measured. The detection of these observarbles, with high accuracy, allows the study of the primary spectrum, chemical co...
متن کاملKneelike structure in the spectrum of the heavy component of cosmic rays observed with KASCADE-Grande.
We report the observation of a steepening in the cosmic ray energy spectrum of heavy primary particles at about 8×10(16) eV. This structure is also seen in the all-particle energy spectrum, but is less significant. Whereas the "knee" of the cosmic ray spectrum at 3-5×10(15) eV was assigned to light primary masses by the KASCADE experiment, the new structure found by the KASCADE-Grande experimen...
