Combined dark matter searches towards dwarf spheroidal galaxies with Fermi-LAT, HAWC, H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS

Celine Armand, Eric Charles, Mattia di Mauro +13

Cosmological and astrophysical observations suggest that 85\% of the total matter of the Universe is made of Dark Matter (DM). However, its nature remains one of the most challengi…

Particle Acceleration in the Cygnus Superbubble

B. Hona

The Cygnus Cocoon is the first gamma-ray superbubble powered by a massive stellar association, the OB2 association. It was postulated that the combined effects of the stellar winds…

The all-particle cosmic ray energy spectrum measured with HAWC

J. A. Morales-Soto, J. C. Arteaga-Velázquez

Thanks to recent technological development, a new generation of cosmic ray experiments have been developed with more sensitivity to study these particles in the primary energy inte…

Monitoring the radio galaxy M87 with HAWC

T. Capistrán, D. Avila Rojas, M. M. González +2

Studies of radio galaxies at TeV energies are fascinating because their jets are misaligned concerning our sightline. Thus, it provides us with a unique opportunity to study the st…

Use of Machine Learning for gamma/hadron separation with HAWC

T. Capistrán, K. L. Fan, J. T. Linnemann +3

Background showers triggered by hadrons represent over 99.9% of all particles arriving at ground-based gamma-ray observatories. An important stage in the data analysis of these obs…

Horizontal muon track identification with neural networks in HAWC

J. R. Angeles Camacho, H. León Vargas

Nowadays the implementation of artificial neural networks in high-energy physics has obtained excellent results on improving signal detection. In this work we propose to use neural…

HAWC observations of the acceleration of very-high-energy cosmic rays in the Cygnus Cocoon

A. U. Abeysekara, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +98

Cosmic rays with energies up to a few PeV are known to be accelerated within the Milky Way. Traditionally, it has been presumed that supernova remnants were the main source of very…

Interplanetary magnetic flux rope observed at ground level by HAWC

S. Akiyama, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +59

We report the ground-level detection of a Galactic Cosmic-Ray (GCR) flux enhancement lasting 17 hr and associated with the passage of a magnetic flux rope (MFR) over the Ear…

HAWC Search for High-Mass Microquasars

HAWC Collaboration, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +87

Microquasars with high-mass companion stars are promising very-high-energy (VHE; 0.1-100 TeV) gamma-ray emitters, but their behaviors above 10 TeV are poorly known. Using the High…

Probing the Sea of Cosmic Rays by Measuring Gamma-Ray Emission from Passive Giant Molecular Clouds with HAWC

A. Albert, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +87

The study of high-energy gamma rays from passive Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) in our Galaxy is an indirect way to characterize and probe the paradigm of the "sea" of cosmic rays i…
