Abstract

Anisotropies in the arrival directions of cosmic rays reflect their source distribution and propagation properties. In the presented analysis extensive air shower measurements with KASCADE are analyzed with respect to large and small scale anisotropies. The resulting upper limits on large scale anisotropy amplitudes of 10-3 to 10-2 restrict the parameter space of several propagation models. No cosmic ray point sources could be found in a sky survey of the northern hemisphere. Typical upper flux limits for point sources are around 10-10 m -2 s -1.
