Wavelength-shifting light traps for SWGO and other applications
M. Pihet, M. Mariotti, C. Arcaro
Wavelength-shifting (WLS) materials contain molecules that absorb light and reemit at longer wavelengths. They can be used for light detection because they provide a large effectiv…
Dark Matter searches in Dwarf Galaxies with the Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory
Micael Andrade, Aion Viana
Dark matter is thought to make up most of the matter density of the Universe, yet its true nature remains uncertain. Among dark matter theories, Weakly Interacting Massive Particle…
An update on site search activities for SWGO
M. Santander, U. Barres de Almeida, J. A. Bellido +19
The Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO) is a project by scientists and engineers from 14 countries and 78 institutions to design and build the first wide-field, ground…
VAMOS: a Pathfinder for the HAWC Gamma-Ray Observatory
A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +133
VAMOS was a prototype detector built in 2011 at an altitude of 4100m a.s.l. in the state of Puebla, Mexico. The aim of VAMOS was to finalize the design, construction techniques and…
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…
