DESCRIPTION:The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory is a TeV 
 gamma-ray detector currently under construction at an altitude of 4100 met
 ers on the slope of the Sierra Negra volcano in the state of Puebla\, Mexi
 co. The detector will consist of 300 water Cherenkov detectors (WCDs) spre
 ad on a 22000 square meter area. Each WCD is instrumented with four photo-
 multiplier tubes used to detect energetic secondary particles produced aft
 er the interaction of a cosmic ray or gamma-ray in the atmosphere. Thanks 
 to its large field-of-view\, excellent angular resolution and 90% duty cyc
 le\, HAWC will allow us to study the Galactic sources at high energies\, d
 iffuse gamma-ray emission\, and transient emission from Active Galactic Nu
 cleus (AGNs) and Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). In this talk I will present the 
 current status of the deployment\, the first results\, and its scientific 
 prospects.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/1912/
