Description
Abstract: In this work, we present preliminary results from our analysis of cosmic-ray showers collected by the IceTop surface array, with a focus on studying cosmic ray anisotropy. By leveraging enhanced statistical power and improved Monte Carlo event simulations, we investigate cosmic ray anisotropy across four energy ranges, from approximately 100 TeV to 10 PeV. This analysis enables us to measure the cosmic ray anisotropy in the Southern Hemisphere at higher energies than previous IceTop analyses. Our findings open avenues for future exploration of potential correlations between arrival direction anisotropy, energy spectrum, and the chemical composition of the cosmic-ray flux.
