Hybrid measurements with the HAWCs Eye telescope and the HAWC detector — •Jan Audehm1, Jan Auffenberg2, Thomas Bretz1, Adrianna García1, and Merlin Schaufel2 — 1III. Physikalisches Institut A, RWTH Aachen University — 2III. Physikalisches Institut B, RWTH Aachen University
The High Altitude Water-Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) is designed for the observation of gamma rays as well as cosmic rays in the TeV energy range. Located near Puebla in Mexico, it is surveying the northern sky for sources of these particles using 300 water tanks equipped with photomultipliers. Hybrid measurements merging the detection principles of air shower arrays and Air-Cherenkov telescopes give the opportunity to improve the reconstruction of primary particle properties such as energy or arrival direction. The compact imaging Air-Cherenkov telescope HAWCs Eye with its 64 SIPM pixel camera is well suited as an expansion of the HAWC detector providing additional shower information. An installation of multiple HAWCs Eye telescopes at the HAWC Observatory offers the opportunity to investigate possible improvements by taking stereoscopic hybrid data.
