Description
The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) is a TeV gamma-ray detector located at an altitude of 4,100 meters on the slope of the Sierra Negra volcano in Puebla, Mexico.
Inaugurated in March 2015, HAWC observes 65% of the sky every day with more than 90% duty cycle and an excellent angular resolution. HAWC plays an important role as a survey instrument for multi-wavelength studies, and presently is the most sensitive instrument to detect transients and extended sources of gamma-rays at multi-TeV energies.
In this talk I will present the recent results from the experiment and discuss the future goals of the collaboration.
