Cosmic ray anisotropy study with the AMANDA Neutrino Telescope
Cosmic rays are particles and radiation hitting the Earth from space. Among them, protons make the largest part, but also heavier nuclei, electrons, photons and neutrinos are present. The bulk of cosmic rays are believed to origine from inside the galaxy, possible sources are supernova remnants. Sti...

This work presents the search for anisotropies within the arrival directions of the cosmic radiation and its possible variation over time. The data used in this work was recorded as background radiation by the AMANDA-experiment, a neutrino telescope located at the geographic South pole, between 2000 and 2006.
