Detection of vertical muons with the HAWC water Cherenkov detectors and its application to gamma/hadron discrimination
Ariel Zuñiga-Reyes, Alberto Hernández, Aldo Miranda-Aguilar +6
The HAWC observatory reconstructs atmospheric showers induced by very high-energy primary cosmic- or gamma-rays. Cosmic-rays with hadronic nature are several orders of magnitude mo…
Capability of the HAWC gamma-ray observatory for the indirect detection of ultra-high energy neutrinos
Hermes León Vargas, Andrés Sandoval, Ernesto Belmont +1
The detection of ultra-high energy neutrinos, with energies in the PeV range or above, is a topic of great interest in modern astroparticle physics. The importance comes from the f…
VAMOS: a Pathfinder for the HAWC Gamma-Ray Observatory
A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +133
VAMOS was a prototype detector built in 2011 at an altitude of 4100m a.s.l. in the state of Puebla, Mexico. The aim of VAMOS was to finalize the design, construction techniques and…
The HAWC Gamma-Ray Observatory: Design, Calibration, and Operation
HAWC Collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro +99
The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Gamma Ray Observatory (HAWC) is under construction 4100 meters above sea level at Sierra Negra, Mexico. We describe the design and cabling of the…
Performance of the first prototype of the HAWC Gamma Ray Observatory
Andres Sandoval, Ruben Alfaro, Ernesto Belmont +7
The HAWC gamma ray observatory, to be constructed at Sierra Negra, Puebla in Mexico, is a large array of water Cherenkov detectors sited at an elevation of 4100 m, which has been o…
