چکیده
We analyze the large-scale two-dimensional sidereal anisotropy of multi-TeV cosmic rays by Tibet Air Shower Array, with the data taken from 1999 November to 2008 December. To explore temporal variations of the anisotropy, the data set is divided into nine intervals, each in a time span of about one year. The sidereal anisotropy of magnitude about 0.1% appears fairly stable from year to year over the entire observation period of nine years. This indicates that the anisotropy of TeV Galactic cosmic rays remains insensitive to solar activities since the observation period covers more than a half of the 23rd solar cycle. Subject headings: cosmic rays — diffusion — ISM: magnetic fields — solar neighborhood — Sun: activity

Exploration of a 100 TeV gamma-ray northern sky using the Tibet air-shower array combined with an underground water-Cherenkov muon-detector array
Aiming to observe cosmic gamma rays in the 10−1000 TeV energy region, we propose a 10000 m underground water-Cherenkov muon-detector (MD) array that operates in conjunction with the Tibet air-shower (AS) array. Significant improvement is expected in the sensitivity of the Tibet AS array towards celestial gammaray signals above 10 TeV by utilizing the fact that gamma-ray-induced air showers cont...
متن کاملMulti-tev Gamma-ray Observation from the Crab Nebula Using the Tibet-iii Air Shower Array Finely Tuned by the Cosmic-ray Moon’s Shadow
The Tibet-III air shower array, consisting of 533 scintillation detectors, has been operating successfully at Yangbajing in Tibet, China since 1999. Using the dataset collected by this array from 1999 November through 2005 November, we obtained the energy spectrum of γ-rays from the Crab Nebula, expressed by a power law as (dJ/dE) = (2.09± 0.32)× 10(E/3 TeV)−2.96±0.14cm−2s−1TeV in the energy ra...
متن کاملLarge-scale sidereal anisotropy of multi-TeV galactic cosmic rays and the heliosphere
We develop a model anisotropy bestfitting to the two-dimensional sky-map of multi-TeV galactic cosmic ray (GCR) intensity observed with the Tibet III air shower (AS) array. By incorporating a pair of intensity excesses in the hydrogen deflection plane (HDP) suggested by Gurnett et al., together with the uni-directional and bi-directional flows for reproducing the observed global feature, this m...
متن کاملREVISED UPPER LIMITS OF THE DIFFUSE TeV GAMMA RAYS FROM THE GALACTIC PLANES WITH THE TIBET II AND III AIR SHOWER ARRAYS
The flux upper limits of the diffuse gamma rays, from the inner and outer Galactic planes, are revised by factors of 4.0∼3.7 for mode energies 3∼10 TeV, respectively, by using the simulation results of the effective area ratios for gamma-ray induced showers and cosmic-ray induced ones in the Tibet air shower array. In our previous work, (Amenomori et al., ApJ, 580, 887, 2002) the flux upper lim...
