Description
The Water Cherenkov Detector Array (WCDA) is one of the major component of the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO). WCDA, divided into 3 separate arrays, will make the survey observation on the gamma-ray sky of 100 GeV - 30TeV. The first array (150m×150m), denoted as WCDA-1, has already be operated in April, 2019 and one more array of the same size, referred to as WCDA-2, has also been in operation since November 2019. The third array, WCDA-3, with a size of 300m ×110m, is being tested and the full array of WCDA will be in operation this year. This paper will describe the operation status of the LHAASO-WCDA since April 2019.
