Performance analysis of the Cherenkov telescope HAWC's Eye in a hybrid setup with HAWC — •Florian Rehbein for the HAWC's Eye project — Physics Institute III A, RWTH Aachen, Germany

The compact imaging air-Cherenkov telescope HAWC's Eye was developed to operate with the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Gamma-Ray Observatory (HAWC), which is an extensive air shower array located in the state of Puebla, Mexico. The hybrid observation improves the energy and angular resolution significantly. This approach is very promising not only for the HAWC observatory but also for future experiments such as the Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO). A full detector simulation of multiple HAWC's Eye telescopes in a hybrid setup with HAWC has been set up. A simply hybrid reconstruction with one or more HAWC's Eye telescopes shows an improvement of the angular and energy resolution above 10 TeV.
