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…

Depth of Maximum of Air-Shower Profiles at the Pierre Auger Observatory: Composition Implications

Pierre Auger Collaboration

Using the data taken at the Pierre Auger Observatory between December 2004 and December 2012, we have examined the implications of the distributions of depths of atmospheric shower…

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…
