All-Sky Cosmic-Ray Anisotropy Update at Multiple Energies

ICIceCube and HAWC CollaborationsJVJuan Carlos Díaz VélezRARasha Abbasi

Key Points

  • To analyze the arrival direction distribution of cosmic rays using data from HAWC and IceCube.
  • Conducted a full-sky analysis using data from HAWC and IceCube observatories.
  • Analyzed cosmic-ray data over an energy range from 3.0 TeV to 1.0 PeV.
  • Combined sky maps from both observatories to cover 93% of celestial coordinates.
  • Extended analysis to higher energies and assessed angular power spectra.
  • Confirmed energy-dependent anisotropy in the cosmic-ray arrival direction distribution.
  • Achieved substantial sky coverage, eliminating biases from partial data.
  • Combined datasets from 8 years at HAWC and 12 years at IceCube to enhance analysis.

Abstract

We present preliminary results on an updated full-sky analysis of the cosmic-ray arrival direction distribution with data collected by the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory and IceCube Neutrino Observatory with complementary field of views covering a large fraction of the sky. This study extends the energy range to higher energies. The HAWC Observatory, located at 19°N has analyzed 8 years of cosmic-ray data over an energy range between 3.0 TeV and 1.0 PeV and confirms an energy-dependent anisotropy in the arrival direction distribution of cosmic rays seen by other experiments. Combined with recently published results from IceCube with 12 years of data, the combined sky maps with 93% coverage of the sky —between 70°N and 90°S— and the corresponding angular power spectra largely eliminate biases that result from partial sky coverage.
