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…

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…
