| Abstract: | Indications of energy dependent intermediate scale anisotropy has been found in the arrival directions of ultra high energy cosmic rays with energies above 20 EeV in the northern hemisphere, using 7 years of TA surface detector data. The previously reported “hotspot‘” excess for E>57 EeV is found to correspond to a deficit, or “coldspot ”, of events for energies 20<E<57 EeV. At the center of maximum combined significance the excess for energies E>57 EeV has a Li Ma statistical significance of 4.62σ, and the deficit for energies 20<E<57 EeV a significance of 3.23σ. This combined feature is centered at R.A. = 146°, decl. = 47° (3° degrees from previously reported hotspot) and is 17°from the supergalactic plane. The hot/ coldspot feature suggests energy dependent magnetic deflection of
the isotropic background and cosmic rays from a source. |
