Large scale distribution of ultra high energy cosmic rays detected at the Pierre Auger observatory with zenith angles up to 80 °
We present the results of an analysis of the large angular scale distribution of the arrival directions of cosmic rays with energy above 4 EeV detected at the Pierre Auger Observatory including for the first time events with zenith angle between 60° and 80°. We perform two Rayleigh analyses, one in...
