abstract

The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory is a ground-based TeV gamma-ray observatory in the state of Puebla, Mexico at an altitude of 4100 m above sea level. Its $\sim$22,000 m$^2$ instrumented area, wide field of view (2 sr), and $>$95% uptime make it an ideal instrument for discovering gamma-ray burst (GRB) emission at $>$100 GeV. Such a discovery would provide key information about the origins of prompt GRB emission as well as constraints on EBL models and the violation of Lorentz invariance. We present here the results of our current GRB search methods, which include an all-sky search as well as fast follow-ups of GRBs reported by satellites, after one and a half years of data with the full HAWC detector.

    No statistically significant very-high-energy emission was seen from four GRBs in HAWC's field of view, and new flux upper limits were set for each.
