SUMMARY:Investigating Potential Time Dependence in the Cosmic Ray Anis
 otropy\, Preliminary Exam\, Perri Zilberman\, Physics PhD Graduate Stu
 dent
DESCRIPTION:The cosmic ray flux has been found to be nearly isotropic 
 on the sky\, however a significant and robust anisotropy has been foun
 d by IceCube as well as a number of other experiments. This anisotropy
  is likely in part caused by cosmic rays interacting with the magnetic
  field of the heliosphere. The heliosphere is dynamic\, largely due to
  changes in solar activity. This suggests that the Cosmic Ray Anisotro
 py should similarly vary in time\, in step with the heliosphere\, thou
 gh there is not a consistent picture of how such a time variation woul
 d present itself observationally. Considering this\, we present a mode
 l-independent method to test for time variation in the Cosmic Ray Anis
 otropy. This method is then validated using a sample of data from the 
 IceCube Neutrino Observatory.
