Abstract

The anisotropy of the arrival direction of the primary cosmic ray of energy 1015 to 1018 eV is studied using approximately 300000 showers observed in 1981 and 1982 at the EAS array at Akeno. The anisotropy of the second harmonics appears to be (1.1+or-0.4)% in the region 1016 to 1017 eV. The showers with rich muon content seem to come preferentially from a direction of about 230 degrees in the right ascension. No statistically meaningful anisotropy is found for muon-poor showers.
