Last week, Nature published an article on the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory, a gamma-ray observatory near Puebla, Mexico. WIPAC at UW–Madison is a collaborating institution.
The article details plans for HAWC, scheduled for completion in fall 2014. When complete, it will consist of 300 water-filled tanks housing particle detectors.
