10-Year Update on Energy Dependence of Cosmic Ray Anisotropy with IceTop
In this work we aim to study the change in cosmic ray anisotropy as detected by IceTop over a ten-year period between energy bands centered at 410 TeV and 1.8 PeV. IceTop is a cosmic ray detector located at the South Pole. Previous work conducted during the construction of IceTop analyzed the energy...

| Summary: | In this work we aim to study the change in cosmic ray anisotropy as detected by IceTop over a ten-year period between energy bands centered at 410 TeV and 1.8 PeV. IceTop is a cosmic ray detector located at the South Pole. Previous work conducted during the construction of IceTop analyzed the energy-dependence of cosmic ray anisotropy. A large-scale deficit in cosmic rays was found in the lower-energy band, which persisted and increased in amplitude in the higher-energy band. Our research is an update that utilizes a stable detector configuration, larger data set and updated data processing methods. |
