Constraints on axion-like particles from ultra-high-energy observations of M87 with the HAWC observatory
R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez, A. Andrés +95
In this work, we perform an indirect search for axion-like particles (ALPs) through their hypothesized mixing with photons in the presence of magnetic fields. ALPs are a well-motiv…
Constraining the Photon Intensity of Extragalactic Background Light with the HAWC Observatory for the Blazar Mrk 421
R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez, A. Andrés +79
The blazar Mrk 421 exhibits rapid variability over a wide range of timescales. Spectral differences have been observed during the different emission states of Mrk 421. During the h…
Improved Heavy Dark Matter Annihilation Search from Dwarf Galaxies with HAWC
A. Albert, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +103
Understanding dark matter's elusive nature is crucial for the framework of particle physics and expanding the Standard Model. This analysis utilizes the High Altitude Water Cherenk…
A Multi-messenger Search for Ultra-high-energy Gamma Rays in Coincidence with Neutrinos
R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez, A. Andrés +101
The last five years have shown us that ultra-high-energy (UHE; 100 TeV) gamma-ray sources are ubiquitous, but the nature of these sources remain highly uncertain. UHE gamma rays…
HAWC Study on the Ultra-High-Energy Gamma-Ray Emissions from the Pulsar Wind Nebula G32.64+0.53
R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez, E. Anita-Rangel +108
Multi-TeV gamma-ray emission around eHWC J1850+001 (a source from the first HAWC catalog of gamma-ray sources emitting above 56 TeV) is spatially coincident with the pulsar wind ne…
Investigating IceCube Neutrino Alerts with the HAWC -Ray Observatory
The HAWC Collaboration, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +95
Neutrino emission from astrophysical sources has long been considered a signature of cosmic-ray acceleration. The IceCube neutrino observatory has observed a diffuse flux of TeV-Pe…
