  1. Cosmic Ray Anisotropy Brian Kolterman LANL December 2006

  2. The Hill Trigger Rate Dec. H.A.

  3. Time Binning • Sidereal: coordinates fixed with respect to background stars • Universal: solar time, displays day-night effects as well as Compton-Getting effect • Anti-Sidereal: non-physical, added for test of “sidebands”
