Conclusions
• Large scale anisotropy of CR. intensity with a magnitude about 0.1% are observed in two dimensions in TeV energy range.
• Crab and Mrk421 are detected.
• No other significant point source is found and give a up-flux limit.
Discussion -----Hot Points
* S.W. Cui and C.T. Yan,2003,in Proc. 28th International Cosmic Ray Conference , 2315.
• Reported in ICRC2003 *;• In the galactic plane and have EGRET counterpart;• High significance in single HD data or TibetIII data.
