The estimation of mass composition ultra-high energy cosmic rays is essential to understand their origin and generation mechanism. Recent experiments are expected to discover anisotropy of mass composition in ultra-high energy cosmic rays. Anisotropy of mass composition using Xmax is currently being performed, but the problem is that the statistics of cosmic rays with measured Xmax is very small. For the next generation experiments, it is important to know how much statistics can be accumulated to find Xmax anisotropy. Therefore, in this analysis, we examine Xmax anisotropic search in ultra-high energy cosmic rays by simulating a cosmic ray air showers under various conditions such as energy spectrum and mass composition.
