SUMMARY:HAWC: A New View of the Very High Energy Sky\, NPAC (Nuclear/P
 article/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Tom Weisgarber
DESCRIPTION:The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory has b
 een fully operational since its inauguration on 20 March 2015. Designe
 d to measure cosmic rays and gamma rays in the very high energy (VHE) 
 range (from 100 GeV to 100 TeV)\, HAWC observes 2/3 of the entire sky 
 every day. HAWC has a large field of view of ~2 sr and a duty cycle of
  >95%\, making it an ideal instrument to search for both new VHE sourc
 es and transient activity in the VHE band. In this talk\, I will discu
 ss the results from HAWC's first year of data with the full detector\,
  highlighting several new Galactic sources and demonstrating the capab
 ility of HAWC to identify VHE transients. I will also discuss the comp
 lementarity between HAWC and other instruments such as IceCube in the 
 context of searching for the sources of the highest energy cosmic rays
  and neutrinos.<br>
