First background-free limit from a directional dark matter experiment: results from a fully fiducialised DRIFT detector

J. B. R. Battat, J. Brack, E. Daw +28

The addition of O2 to gas mixtures in time projection chambers containing CS2 has recently been shown to produce multiple negative ions that travel at slightly different velocities…

Search for gamma-rays from the unusually bright GRB 130427A with the HAWC Gamma-ray Observatory

The HAWC collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro +90

The first limits on the prompt emission from the long gamma-ray burst (GRB) 130427A in the energy band are reported. GRB 130427A was the most powerful b…

Observation of Small-scale Anisotropy in the Arrival Direction Distribution of TeV Cosmic Rays with HAWC

A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +96

The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory is sensitive to gamma rays and charged cosmic rays at TeV energies. The detector is still under construction, but data acquisit…

Milagro Limits and HAWC Sensitivity for the Rate-Density of Evaporating Primordial Black Holes

A. A. Abdo, A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro +118

Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) are gravitationally collapsed objects that may have been created by density fluctuations in the early universe and could have arbitrarily small masses…

The Sensitivity of HAWC to High-Mass Dark Matter Annihilations

A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +101

The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory is a wide field-of-view detector sensitive to gamma rays of 100 GeV to a few hundred TeV. Located in central Mexico at 19 degre…
