SUMMARY:Very-high-energy gamma-ray astrophysics with HAWC\, Physics De
 partment Colloquium\, Ignacio Taboada\, Georgia Tech
DESCRIPTION:HAWC is a second generation ground detector searching for 
 in TeV gamma-rays. HAWC is special because of its instantaneous very w
 ide field of view (2 steradians\, similar to a human eye) and because 
 it operated continuously. This makes HAWC an ideal survey detector and
  complements point/dark time only operation of more sensitive air Cher
 enkov telescopes such as VERITAS. In its first 17 month of operation H
 AWC has detected ~40 sources\, mostly in our own galaxy\, including pu
 lsar wind nebula\, supernova remnants\, unidentified objects\, etc. In
  this colloquium I’ll discuss initial HAWC results as well as a sear
 ch for counterpart TeV gamma-ray objects responsible for IceCube’s n
 eutrinos.
