On the sensitivity of the HAWC observatory to gamma-ray bursts

Anushka Udara Abeysekara, +146 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the sensitivity of HAWC to Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) has been evaluated using two data acquisition (DAQ) systems: the main DAQ system reads out coincident signals in the tanks and reconstructs the direction and energy of individual atmospheric showers, and the scaler DAQ counts the hits in each photomultiplier tube (PMT) in the detector and searches for a statistical excess over the noise of all PMTs.
