Highlights from the Large High-Altitude Air-Shower Observatory (LHAASO)

Since July 2021, LHAASO is fully operational and collecting data. The Nature paper in 2021, revealing 12 VHE new sources, was just the start of LHAASO science, revealing the huge scientific potential of this experiment. LHAASO opened the multi-TeV era in γ-ray astronomy and cosmic ray physics. Many...

Description
Summary:Since July 2021, LHAASO is fully operational and collecting data. The Nature paper in 2021, revealing 12 VHE new sources, was just the start of LHAASO science, revealing the huge scientific potential of this experiment. LHAASO opened the multi-TeV era in γ-ray astronomy and cosmic ray physics. Many analysis efforts in different areas are ongoing in different areas and several results are already published. In this contribution, we will show some highlights from LHAASO science together with the status of calibrations and performances achieved.
