DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Andrew Smith (University of Maryland\, College Park)
 \nThe High Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) is a new and novel 
 TeV gamma-ray detector that was recently completed and began full operatio
 n in March 2015. Located on the Sierra Negra volcano\, Puebla\, Mexico\, a
 t an elevation of 4\,100m\, HAWC is optimized for the detection of gamma r
 ays in the 0.1 - 100~TeV range. It's 2sr field-of-view and >90% duty cycle
  make HAWC an ideal instrument for surveying the high-energy sky\, searchi
 ng for new sources\, studying extended emission from diffuse sources and m
 onitoring transient and variable sources such as GRBs and AGN. I will desc
 ribe the HAWC detector and its performance characteristics and report init
 ial results from the first months of operation.\n\nhttps://indico.icrr.u-t
