Abstract
Evidence of an energy dependent intermediate-scale anisotropy has been found in the arrival directions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays in the northern hemisphere, using 7 years of TA surface detector data. The previously reported hot spot" excess E $\geq$ 10$^{19.75}$ EeV is found to correspond to a deficit, or cold spot," of events for 10$^{19.2} \leq$ E $<$ 10$^{19.75}$ EeV. This feature suggests energy dependent magnetic deflection of cosmic-rays. The global post-trial significance of the energy spectrum deviation is found to be 3.74$\sigma$.
