Although no significant deviation from isotropy is revealed at present, some of the measurements suggest that future data will provide hints for large-scale anisotropies over a wide energy range. Those anisotropies would have amplitudes which are too small to be significantly observed within the current statistics. Assuming that the cosmic ray anisotropy is dominated by dipole and quadrupole moments in the EeV-energy range, some consequences of the present upper limits on their amplitudes are presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-03-25T11:38:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "pierre auger observatory", "cosmic rays", "arrival directions", "large-scale distribution", "large-scale anisotropies" ], "tags": [ "conference paper", "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/1742-6596/531/1/012002" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1287031, "adsabs": "2014arXiv1403.6314O" } } }
