Cosmic Ray Anisotropy Studies with a Small Air Shower Array

Abstract

A small cosmic ray extensive air shower (EAS) array for anisotropy studies has been built and operated in the southern hemisphere for a full year. The operation of such an array is discussed as a possible prototype for a multiarray system which would be simple and reliable to operate. Data from the array are presented to add to the sparse southern hemisphere data set below energies of about 1 PeV.
