Next Day's Goals

• Finish Homework 1
• Finish project given by Tolga (start around entry 20 but recheck prior entries for errors)

Homework Location

• http://private.hawc-observatory.org/wiki/index.php/Analysis_Workshop_2015_06_15

ROOT Notes

• ".q" to quit out of ROOT
• "root" to start ROOT
• Most likely won't need but good to have
  • "sudo apt-get ..."
    • "update" to update
    • "program" to get prerequisite (https://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/build-prerequisites)
  • "./configure" to check for any prerequisites
  • "make" when it tells me to

"Sensitivity of the high altitude water Cherenkov detector to sources of multi-TeV gamma rays" notes

• Cut means we are imposing an upper bound, lower bound, or removing unwanted information on the collected data
• sr is steradian which is the measurement of a solid angle. There are 4*pi (~12.5664) steradians in a complete sphere
• Crab is a unit based of the flux density of the Crab nebula. Comprised of "erg / cm^2 / s"

"Construction of the HAWC Gamma-Ray Observatory" notes

• VHE - very high energy
• GRB - gamma ray burst
• IACT - Imaging Atmospheric/Air Cherenkov Telescope/Technique
• Anisotropy is the property of being directionally dependent, as opposed to isotropy, which implies identical properties in all directions
