Large scale anisotropy (by method II) I - 1
Large scale anisotropy of diff. Data sample
• Anisotropy measurements agree with each other from using HD detector or TibetIII detector, means small systematic effects.

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 with 5 σ level.
• No other significant point source is found, and an upper-flux limit curve is given
