Description

Large-scale anisotropy at the highest energies is essential for the understanding the transition from cosmic rays of galactic origin to those of extra-galactic origin, along with the magnetic fields in the galaxy and those beyond. Motivated by a significant detection of the large-scale anisotropy above 8 EeV by the Pierre Auger Observatory (Auger), we have previously reported, using 11 years of Telescope Array (TA) surface array data, a result compatible with both that of Auger, and with a isotropic source distribution [ApJL, 898:L28, (2020)]. In this contribution, we will show latest results to search for the large-scale anisotropy at the highest energies.
