Description

HAWC is performing well, achieving unprecedented all-sky sensitivity above 1 TeV. The HAWC sensitivity is driven by the best photon/hadron discrimination and angular resolution ever achieved for a wide-field ground array. I will discuss the HAWC performance, focusing on the HAWC observations of the Crab Nebula, highlighting opportunities for improvement in a future Southern observatory.
