HAWC Performance Enhanced by Machine Learning in Gamma-Hadron Separation
R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez, A. Andrés +92
Improving gamma-hadron separation is one of the most effective ways to enhance the performance of ground-based gamma-ray observatories. With over a decade of continuous operation,…
Validation of standardized data formats and tools for ground-level particle-based gamma-ray observatories
A. Albert, R. Alfaro, J. C. Arteaga-Velázquez +74
Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy is still a rather young field of research, with strong historical connections to particle physics. This is why most observations are conducted by e…
Data Acquisition Architecture and Online Processing System for the HAWC gamma-ray observatory
HAWC collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro +105
The High Altitude Water Cherenkov observatory (HAWC) is an air shower array devised for TeV gamma-ray astronomy. HAWC is located at an altitude of 4100 m a.s.l. in Sierra Negra, Me…
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 HAWC Gamma-Ray Observatory: Design, Calibration, and Operation
HAWC Collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro +99
The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Gamma Ray Observatory (HAWC) is under construction 4100 meters above sea level at Sierra Negra, Mexico. We describe the design and cabling of the…
