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…
The contribution of distant sources to the observed flux of ultra high-energy cosmic rays
Ellis R. Owen, Qin Han, Kinwah Wu +2
Ultra-high-energy (UHE) cosmic rays (CRs) interact with cosmic background radiation through hadronic processes, and the Universe would become `opaque' to UHE CRs of energies …
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…
A Novel Approach towards the Search for Gamma-ray Emission from the Northern Fermi Bubble with HAWC
Pooja Surajbali
The Fermi bubbles are structures observed in gamma rays at GeV energies, emanating from the central region of our galaxy and extending up to 8.5 kpc above and below the galactic pl…
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…
Ultra high-energy cosmic rays from beyond the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuz'min horizon
Ellis R. Owen, Qin Han, Kinwah Wu +2
Ultra-high-energy (UHE) cosmic rays (CRs) of energies , accelerated in violent astrophysical environments, interact with cosmic background radiatio…
TeV emission of Galactic plane sources with HAWC and H.E.S.S
H. Abdalla, F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali +318
The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory and the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) are two leading instruments in the ground-based very-high-energy gamma-ray d…
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…
Spectrum and Morphology of the Very-High-Energy Source HAWC J2019+368
HAWC Collaboration, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +80
The MGRO J2019+37 region is one of the brightest sources in the sky at TeV energies. It was detected in the 2 year HAWC catalog as 2HWC J2019+367 and here we present a detailed stu…
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…
Evidence that Ultra-High-Energy Gamma Rays are a Universal Feature Near Powerful Pulsars
HAWC Collaboration, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +97
The highest-energy known gamma-ray sources are all located within 0.5 degrees of extremely powerful pulsars. This raises the question of whether ultra-high-energy (UHE; 56 TeV)…
