    Non-random time series of cosmic rays were searched for in air shower data of mean energy 1:1 x 1015 eV, collected by the air shower array atMitsuishi, Japan, during the period from January 1989 to October 1996. By clustering the arrival time of air showers, five occasions of rate elevation phenomena were found with an expected probability 0:05 (varying from 0:18 x 1

    Time variations in the deep underground muon flux

    More than 35 million high-energy muons collected with the MACRO detector at the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory have been used to search for flux variations of different nature. Two kinds of studies were carried out: a search for the occurrence of clusters of events and a search for periodic variations. Different analysis methods, including the Scan Statistics test and the Lomb-Scargle spectral analysis have been applied to the data.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, accepted by EP
