Study of TeV Cosmic Rays with HAWC
ORAL
Abstract
The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory is an extensive air-shower detector located at an altitude of 4100 meters in Mexico. HAWC is sensitive to cosmic rays and gamma rays at TeV energies. The cosmic-ray arrival-direction distribution at these energies shows significant anisotropy on large and small angular scales, including several regions of part-per-mille excess flux. We present studies of the anisotropy and the excess regions based on data observed with HAWC since June 2013 during the construction phase.
