Journal ArticleDOI

Anisotropy and corotation of galactic cosmic rays.

TL;DR: Two-dimensional high-precision anisotropy measurement for energies from a few to several hundred teraelectronvolts (TeV) is presented, using the large data sample of the Tibet Air Shower Arrays, revealing finer details of the known anisotropies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The All-Particle Spectrum of Primary Cosmic Rays in the Wide Energy Range from 1014 to 1017 eV Observed with the Tibet-III Air-Shower Array

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an updated all-particle energy spectrum of primary cosmic rays in a wide range from 10 14 to 10 17 eVusing 5:5 ; 10 7 events collected from 2000 November through 2004 October by the Tibet-III air-shower array located 4300 m in altitude.
Journal ArticleDOI

Are protons still dominant at the knee of the cosmic-ray energy spectrum?

TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid experiment consisting of emulsion chambers, burst detectors and the Tibet-II air-shower array was carried out at Yangbajing (4300 m a.s.l., 606 g / cm 2 ) in Tibet to obtain the energy spectra of primary protons and heliums.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multi-Tev Gamma-Ray Observation from the Crab Nebula Using the Tibet-III Air Shower Array Finely Tuned by the Cosmic-Ray Moon's Shadow

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the systematic error in determining the primary energy from its shower size, which is estimated to be less than ±12% in their experiment. But this error is consistent with other independent γ-ray observations by imaging air Cherenkov telescopes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cosmic-ray energy spectrum around the knee obtained by the Tibet experiment and future prospects

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a low threshold air-shower core detector named YAC to measure the heavy elements around the knee, which indicated the dominance of nuclei heavier than helium.
