Abstract
In this study, we investigate large-scale cosmic ray anisotropy across four distinct energy tiers: 310 TeV, 1.1 PeV, 2.4PeV, and 6.6 PeV, utilizing data collected by the IceTop air shower array spanning from 2011 to 2021. While prior research was conducted during the construction of IceTop, this work aims to provide an updated and more comprehensive distribution of cosmic ray arrival directions in the Southern Hemisphere using IceTop. Through these enhancements, our study aims to contribute valuable insights into the cosmic ray anisotropy landscape, shedding light on the intricate dynamics of high-energy phenomena in the Southern Hemisphere.
