30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Search for Intermediate-Scale Anisotropy by the HiRes Experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The HiRes collaboration has searched for intermediate-scale anisotropy of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays in two ways: first a search for variation with declination of the flux of cosmic rays, and second in their arrival directions. The data of the HiRes-II detector was used in the search.

30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE An Alternative Method to Finding Patterns in HiRes Stereo Data
In this paper, Ultra High Energy Cosmic Ray (UHECR) data observed by the HiRes fluorescence detector in stereo mode is analyzed to search for events in the sky with an arrival direction lying on a great circle. Such a structure is known as an arc structure. An arc structure is expected when the charged cosmic rays pass through the galactic magnetic field. The arcs searched for could represent a...

A method to calculate the Average Longitudinal Shower profile has been applied to the High Resolution Fly’s Eye Detector (HiRes) data. A complete detector simulation was used to throw CORSIKA (QGSJET) showers which are then analyzed using the same technique. The main features of the average showers are compared to the Monte Carlo as a function of energy. Systematic errors in the reconstruction ...
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE HiRes Limits on the Tau Neutrino Flux at the Highest Energies
Data from the High Resolution Fly’s Eye detector that measures cosmic rays with the fluorescence technique is used to set limits on the flux of tau neutrinos in the energy range from 10 to 10 eV. This energy range is particularly interesting as we expect a guaranteed flux of cosmogenic neutrinos from the GZK mechanism.
متن کاملThe Search for Anisotropy in the Arrival Directions of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays Observed by the High Resolution Fly’s Eye Detector in Monocular Mode
The High Resolution Fly’s Eye HiRes-I detector has now been in operation in monocular mode for over six years. During that time span, HiRes-I has accumulated a larger exposure to Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) above 10 eV than any other experiment built to date. This presents an unprecedented opportunity to search for anisotropy in the arrival directions of UHECRs. We present results of...
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE HiRes Limits on Point-Like Sources of Cosmic Rays with Energy Above 10 eV
Point-like excesses have been alternately claimed and refuted in the direction of Cygnus X-3, BL-Lacertae objects, and others. We conduct a search for point-like deviations from isotropy in the arrival direction of ultra-high energy cosmic rays in the monocular data set collected by the High-Resolution Fly’s Eye. We find no evidence for point-like excesses and place a 90% c.l. upper limit of 0....
