The Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory: Status and Prospects
Jim Hinton
The Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO) Collaboration is currently engaged in design and prototyping work towards the realisation of this future gamma-ray facility. SW…
Particle Acceleration in the Cygnus Superbubble
B. Hona
The Cygnus Cocoon is the first gamma-ray superbubble powered by a massive stellar association, the OB2 association. It was postulated that the combined effects of the stellar winds…
The all-particle cosmic ray energy spectrum measured with HAWC
J. A. Morales-Soto, J. C. Arteaga-Velázquez
Thanks to recent technological development, a new generation of cosmic ray experiments have been developed with more sensitivity to study these particles in the primary energy inte…
The young massive stellar cluster Westerlund 1 in rays as seen with H.E.S.S
Lars Mohrmann, Andreas Specovius, Romed Rauth +2
Massive stellar clusters have recently been hypothesised as candidates for the acceleration of hadronic cosmic rays up to PeV energies. Previously, the H.E.S.S. Collaboration has r…
Detection of new Extreme BL Lac objects with H.E.S.S. and Swift XRT
Mathieu de Bony de Lavergne, Tomas Bylund, Manuel Meyer +2
Extreme high synchrotron peaked blazars (EHBLs) are amongst the most powerful accelerators found in nature. Usually the synchrotron peak frequency of an EHBL is above Hz…
Astronomy outreach in Namibia: H.E.S.S. and beyond
Hannah Dalgleish, Heike Prokoph, Sylvia Zhu +6
Astronomy plays a major role in the scientific landscape of Namibia. Because of its excellent sky conditions, Namibia is home to ground-based observatories like the High Energy Spe…
Monitoring the radio galaxy M87 with HAWC
T. Capistrán, D. Avila Rojas, M. M. González +2
Studies of radio galaxies at TeV energies are fascinating because their jets are misaligned concerning our sightline. Thus, it provides us with a unique opportunity to study the st…
Use of Machine Learning for gamma/hadron separation with HAWC
T. Capistrán, K. L. Fan, J. T. Linnemann +3
Background showers triggered by hadrons represent over 99.9% of all particles arriving at ground-based gamma-ray observatories. An important stage in the data analysis of these obs…
Horizontal muon track identification with neural networks in HAWC
J. R. Angeles Camacho, H. León Vargas
Nowadays the implementation of artificial neural networks in high-energy physics has obtained excellent results on improving signal detection. In this work we propose to use neural…
HAWC observations of the acceleration of very-high-energy cosmic rays in the Cygnus Cocoon
A. U. Abeysekara, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +98
Cosmic rays with energies up to a few PeV are known to be accelerated within the Milky Way. Traditionally, it has been presumed that supernova remnants were the main source of very…
