Exotic origin for cosmic positrons Several cosmic-ray detectors have found more arriving at Earth than expected. Some researchers interpret this as a signature of exotic physics, such the annihilation dark matter particles. Others prefer mundane explanation that involves positron generation pulsars followed by diffusion to Earth. Abeysekara et al. detected extended emission gamma rays around two nearby pulsars, generated high-energy electrons and positrons. The size was used calculate how...

Abstract We present TeV gamma-ray observations of the Crab Nebula, standard reference source in ground-based astronomy, using data from High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Gamma-Ray Observatory. In this analysis we use two independent energy estimation methods that utilize extensive air shower variables such as core position, angle, and lateral distribution. contrast, previously published HAWC spectrum roughly estimated with only number photomultipliers triggered. This new methodology...
Abstract The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) gamma-ray observatory is a wide field of view sensitive to 500 GeV–100 TeV gamma-rays and cosmic rays. It can also perform diverse indirect searches for dark matter annihilation decay. Among the most promising targets detection are dwarf spheroidal galaxies. These objects expected have few astrophysical sources but high content, making them ideal candidates an with gamma-rays. Here we present individual limits on cross section decay lifetime...

Abstract The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Gamma-Ray Observatory, located on the side of Sierra Negra volcano in Mexico, has been fully operational since 2015. HAWC collaboration recently significantly improved their extensive air shower reconstruction algorithms, which notably advanced observatory performance. energy resolution for primary gamma rays with energies below 1 TeV was by including a noise-suppression algorithm. Corrections have also made to systematic errors direction...
The HAWC experiment reports the first ground-based measurement of all-particle cosmic-ray spectrum in 10-500 TeV energy range. This data overlaps with direct measurements made by balloon-borne detectors as well those other higher air-shower detectors. closes an important gap between these different experiments.

Abstract We present the detection of very-high-energy gamma-ray emission above 100 TeV from HAWC J2227+610 with High-Altitude Water Cherenov Gamma-Ray Observatory (HAWC) observatory. Combining our observations previously published results by Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERTIAS), we interpret as protons a lower limit in their cutoff energy 800 TeV.

Using this, we constrain spin-dependent scattering cross section protons masses above 1 TeV, assuming an unstable mediator favorable...
Because of the high energies and long distances to sources, astrophysical observations provide a unique opportunity test possible signatures Lorentz invariance violation (LIV). Superluminal LIV enables decay photons at energy. The altitude water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory is among most sensitive gamma-ray instruments currently operating above 10 TeV. HAWC finds evidence 100 TeV photon emission from least four sources. These exclude, for strongest limits set, energy scale 2.2×10^{31} eV,...
Abstract The Earth is bombarded by ultrarelativistic particles, known as cosmic rays (CRs). CRs with energies up to a few PeV (=10 15 eV), the knee in particle spectrum, are believed have Galactic origin. One or more factories of CRs, PeVatrons, must thus be active within our Galaxy. direct detection protons from their sources not possible since they deflected magnetic fields. Hundred TeV γ -rays decaying π 0 , produced when collide ambient gas, can provide decisive evidence proton...
We report the first detection of a TeV γ-ray flux from solar disk (6.3σ), based on 6.1 years data High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory. The 0.5–2.6 spectrum is well fit by power law, dN/dE=A(E/1 TeV)−γ, with A=(1.6±0.3)×10−12 TeV−1 cm−2 s−1 and γ=3.62±0.14. shows strong indication anticorrelation activity. These results extend bright, hard GeV emission observed Fermi-LAT, seemingly due to hadronic Galactic cosmic rays showering nuclei in atmosphere. However, current theoretical...

Abstract The highest-energy known gamma-ray sources are all located within 0.°5 of extremely powerful pulsars. This raises the question whether ultra-high-energy (UHE; >56 TeV) emission is a universal feature expected near pulsars with high spin-down power.
