The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) is designed to study the sky in TeV gamma rays and observe the most energetic objects in the known universe. Due to its size and location, the observatory will also observe millions of cosmic rays every day, allowing for very precise measurements of the cosmic-ray anisotropy.

The second Fermi-VERITAS-HAWC workshop begins today in Madison, Wisconsin, at the University of Wisconsin–Madison’s Union South. The two-day workshop will engage physicists from around North America, encouraging discussion among the three different collaborations.

High on a sleeping Mexican volcano, a new particle astrophysics observatory is about to blink to life, commencing an all-sky search for very high energy gamma rays — a search that could greatly expand the catalog of known gamma ray sources and chip away at the mystery of the cosmic rays that constantly bombard our planet.

“The high school internship at WIPAC was easily one of the highlights of my senior year. It was an amazing experience getting to talk to and work one-on-one with grad students,” says former WIPAC intern Collin Buelo. “I would highly recommend the program to any high school student thinking about going into any area of physics.”
