Anomalous horizontal track-like events at the HAWC observatory: candidate neutrino-induced charged leptons from the Pico de Orizaba volcano
Hermes León Vargas, Andrés Sandoval
Two track-like events with exceptionally large charge deposits, pointing back to the region of maximum overburden ( km.w.e.) of the Pico de Orizaba volcano, were reported by t…
Hadronic Clues in Quasars Caught by Fermi-LAT
Antonio Galván, Nissim Fraija, Edilberto Aguilar-Ruiz +3
This work explores whether hadronic processes could be responsible for the high-energy emission seen in quasars identified by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) instrument aboard the F…
Late-afterglow Emission from a Quasi-spherical Outflow in a stratified environment
Nissim Fraija, Boris Betancourt-Kamenetskaia, Antonio Galván +7
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are cosmic events occurring at large distances beyond our galaxy. They provide a unique opportunity to study electromagnetic patterns not seen elsewhere. Wh…
Search for seasonal variations of the horizontal muon rate with the HAWC observatory
Cindy Castellón, Hermes León Vargas
The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory was designed to study gamma-ray sources in the energy range between a few hundred GeV up to few hundred TeV. It is composed of…
Piritakua: the atmosphere as a high-energy physics laboratory
Hermes León Vargas, Antonio Galván, Andrés Sandoval +3
The atmosphere provides a large set of experimental conditions on which cosmic-ray induced high-energy hadron interactions can take place. These conditions include: sudden changes…
