Description

The distribution of the arrival directions of cosmic rays observed by the Pierre Auger Observatory has a dipolar component that implies a flux dependence on declination. Previously, we showed that the spectrum built from events arriving with a zenith angle less than 60° is qualitatively consistent with the dipole. In this work, we go one step further and show that the Auger spectrum cannot reject the hypothesis of a declination-independent flux. By using events of up 80°, we extend the previous survey from +25° of declination to +45°, thus covering 85% of the sky.
