AbstractThe understanding of the origin of ultra high-energy particles and light is one of the central challenges in contemporary astronomy and astrophysics. It is a study that will lead us to a better understanding of the dynamics of the cosmos. The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC), a technologically advanced gamma-ray and cosmic-ray detector located on the slopes of Sierra Negra volcano in Mexico, is among the most sensitive gamma-ray observatories in the world. Since 2015, HAWC has ac
