The AMANDA detector has been operated at the South Pole until 2006 and recorded a total ~9·10^9 muons above ~1 TeV between 2000 and 2006. With a data set of this size, it is possible to probe the southern sky for per-mil anisotropy on all angular scales in the arrival direction distribution of cosmic rays thereby extending anisotropy measurements performed with IceCube.
The data presented...

The EAS-TOP Extensive Air Shower array was located at Campo Imperatore (2005 m a.s.l., latitude 42◦27N, longitude 13◦34E, INFN Gran Sasso National Laboratory). It took cosmic ray data in the energy range 10^13 eV-10^16 eV from the end of 1980s up to 2000. A first data-set (including 4 years of data) was exploited for the measurement of the cosmic ray anisotropy at E≈10^14 eV (Ap. J. 470, 1996,...

EAS array dataset contains signal laying on different angular
scales: point-like and extended gamma-ray sources, as well as large and
intermediate scale cosmic-ray anisotropies. The separation of all these
contributions is crucial, mostly when they overlap with each other.
In recent years, the needlet transform has proved to be an effective tool
in the analysis of cosmological and...

To measure the per-mille anisotropy in the TeV cosmic rays with a
ground-based experiment, it is necessary to estimate the exposure of the
detector to cosmic ray air showers. The estimate must account for drifts
that occur in the detector during the course of the measurement, as well
as changes in the shower signal at ground level caused by atmospheric
conditions. Due to the difficulty...
