Abstract

Primary cosmic ray sources with energies of 5 × 1013−5 × 1014 eV are sought using the self-contained CHRONOTRON-KLARA facility at the Lebedev Institute’s Tien Shan station. The data from measuring 35 million extensive air showers (ESAs) is analyzed via direct separation in an equatorial coordinate system in which the standard deviation of the number of events exceeds a certain value. These directions are compared to results obtained at other facilities, and to the coordinates of astrophysical sources (e.g., γ-pulsars).
