Description
The Telescope Array has collected 7 years of data and accumulated the largest UHECR data set in the Northern hemisphere. We make use of these data to search for large- and small-scale anisotropy of UHECR. At small angular scales we examine the data for clustering of events and correlations with various classes of putative sources. At large angular scales we will present a blind search for localized excesses of events anywhere on the sky, and find an excess -- the "hot spot" -- at the highest energies by oversampling using a radius of 20 degrees, centered in the constellation Ursa Major. We will estimate the statistical significance of this excess and show how it manifests itself in various other tests. Finally, we will examine the data for correlations with the large-scale structures in the nearby Universe.
