Description

Surprisingly, the Sun is found that be a bright gamma-ray source at TeV, due to cosmic rays interacting with the solar atmopshere and produces hadronic gamma rays. I will discuss the detection of TeV solar gamma rays by HAWC, which could be a novel probe for solar magnetism, and its implications for detecting TeV neutrinos and dark matter searches from the Sun.
