Galactic Gamma-Ray Diffuse Emission at TeV energies with HAWC Data
R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez, J. C. Arteaga-Velazquez +77
The Galactic gamma-ray diffuse emission (GDE) is emitted by cosmic rays (CRs), ultra-relativistic protons and electrons, interacting with gas and electromagnetic radiation fields i…

A. Albert, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +63
The Galactic Halo is a key target for indirect dark matter detection. The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory is a high-energy (~300 GeV to >100 TeV) gamma-ray detecto…
Gamma/Hadron Separation with the HAWC Observatory

The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) gamma-ray observatory observes atmospheric showers produced by incident gamma rays and cosmic rays with energy from 300 GeV to more than 10…
Cosmic ray spectrum of protons plus helium nuclei between 6 TeV and 158 TeV from HAWC data
HAWC Collaboration, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +74
A measurement with high statistics of the differential energy spectrum of light elements in cosmic rays, in particular, of primary H plus He nuclei, is reported. The spectrum is pr…
Combined dark matter searches towards dwarf spheroidal galaxies with Fermi-LAT, HAWC, H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS
Celine Armand, Eric Charles, Mattia di Mauro +13
Cosmological and astrophysical observations suggest that 85\% of the total matter of the Universe is made of Dark Matter (DM). However, its nature remains one of the most challengi…
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…
Characterization of the background for a neutrino search with the HAWC observatory
HAWC Collaboration, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +59
The close location of the HAWC observatory to the largest volcano in Mexico allows to perform a search for neutrino-induced horizontal muon and tau charged leptons. The section of…
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…
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…
Interplanetary magnetic flux rope observed at ground level by HAWC
S. Akiyama, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +59
We report the ground-level detection of a Galactic Cosmic-Ray (GCR) flux enhancement lasting 17 hr and associated with the passage of a magnetic flux rope (MFR) over the Ear…
HAWC Search for High-Mass Microquasars
HAWC Collaboration, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +87
Microquasars with high-mass companion stars are promising very-high-energy (VHE; 0.1-100 TeV) gamma-ray emitters, but their behaviors above 10 TeV are poorly known. Using the High…
Probing the Sea of Cosmic Rays by Measuring Gamma-Ray Emission from Passive Giant Molecular Clouds with HAWC
A. Albert, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +87
The study of high-energy gamma rays from passive Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) in our Galaxy is an indirect way to characterize and probe the paradigm of the "sea" of cosmic rays i…
Evidence of 200 TeV photons from HAWC J1825-134
A. Albert, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +81
The Earth is bombarded by ultra-relativistic particles, known as cosmic rays (CRs). CRs with energies up to a few PeV (=10 eV), the knee in the particle spectrum, are believ…
