Abstract content

The study of the evolution of the cosmic ray anisotropy over primary energy in the range 10^14-10^15 eV can provide a significant tool for the understanding of the knee in the primary spectrum. The EAS-TOP result obtained at Eo ~ 10^14 eV has been extended to higher energies in order to approach the knee region, by exploiting the full data set (about 10 years of data taking). Results derived from the harmonic analysis of the data in sidereal time are presented up to about 10^15 eV and compared with possible evolutions of the 10^14 eV observation. As allowed by the statistical accuracy, different validation tests are also discussed, based on the harmonic analysis of the same data in solar and antisidereal time.
