Abstract	The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) gamma-ray observatory is a brand newgamma-ray survey instrument that was completed in March 2015 which can detectgamma-rays up to an energy of around 100 TeV. In particular, thanks to itswhole sky field of view, HAWC will substantially increase the detection rateof new VHE gamma-ray sources. Taking advantage of XMM-Newton sensitivity, wepropose for a ToO observation on newly detected Galactic VHE gamma-ray sourcesdetected by HAWC to identify the X-ray counterpart and hence to establish thenature of the sources.

Mission Description	The European Space Agencys (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESAs second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earths atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.
