Description

The arrival directions and momenta of 621,000 muons have been measured with the Kiel-Desy-muon spectrometer in 1974. The data of a 125 days run have been investigated for narrow angle anisotropies of primary cosmic rays in the energy range 0.1-5 TeV. At about 0.3 TeV there was found a 32% excess (4 standard deviations) at delta = 60 +- 10 and R.A. = 870 +- 30. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Die Einfallrichtungen und Impulse von 621.000 Myonen sind 1974 mit dem Kiel-Desy-Myon-Spektrometer gemessen worden. Die Daten einer Reihe von 125 Tagen wurden auf Schmalwinkel-Anisotropien von primaerer kosmischer Strahlung im Energiebereich zwischen 0,1 und 5 TeV untersucht. Bei ungefaehr 0,3 TeV wurde ein 32%iger Ueberschuss (4 Standardabweichungen) bei delta = 60 +- 10 und R.A. = 870 +- 30 gefunden. (orig.)
