1 A Northern Sky Survey for Both TeV CR anisotropy and  -ray Sources with Tibet Air Shower Array Hongbo Hu (huhb@ihep.ac.cn) For Tibet AS  collaboration The Tibet AS-gamma Experiment ; Two Analyses Methods; Preliminary Results; Discussion and Conclusions. 2004.8 Institute of High Energy Physics

2 YangBaJing Observatory and its Experiments –Located at an elevation of 4300 m (Yangbajing, China) –Atmospheric depth 606g/cm 2 –Wide field of view –High duty cycle (>90%) ARGO Experimental Hall ASγ air shower array

3 3,600m 2 (in area) Tibet-HD Tibet array: ~250 x 250 m 2 HD: 60 x 60m 2 Tibet-III: ~150x150 m 2 Tibet-III Tibet-HD Operation Time Live Time Selected Events Mode Energy Resolution (@3TeV ) Area Tibet- HD 1997.2~1999.9555.9 days1.5×10 9 ~3TeV0.9 o 3600m 2 Tibet-III 1999.11~2001.5456.8 days5.5×10 9 ~3TeV0.9 o 22050m 2 Tibet Air Shower Array

4 Method I -----Equal-zenith method Zenith North Pole On-source Off-source 6.8°< zenith <40.0° Making use of the fact that events are uniformly distributed within equal-zenith belt; 10 off-source windows (side band) are chosen to estimate BKG.

5 Equal ! Method II----Global CR. Intensity fitting method Zenith Equal ? All sky survey based on an anisotropy correction of relative CR intensity, which is obtained by LSQ fitting for the data in each of equal zenith ring

6 DEC RA. Duldig, PASA,Vol18,No.1 ~ ±0.1% Large scale anisotropy (by method II) I - 1

7 Large scale anisotropy of diff. Data sample Anisotropy measurements agree with each other from using HD detector or TibetIII detector, means small systematic effects.

8 Large scale anisotropy correction σ=1.258 Before subtraction After subtraction σ=1.018

12 Up flux limit (by method I) (30 degree of declination related to YBJ zenith direction)

13 Conclusions Large scale anisotropy of CR. intensity with a magnitude about 0.1% are observed in two dimensions in TeV energy range. Crab and Mrk421 are detected with 5 σ level. No other significant point source is found, and an upper-flux limit curve is given
