A SEARCH FOR MODERATE- AND HIGH-ENERGY NEUTRINO EMISSION CORRELATED WITH GAMMA-RAY BURSTS

摘要

A temporal correlation analysis between moderate- (60 Mev ≤ E_v ≤ 2500 MeV) and high-energy (E_v ≥ 2000 MeV) neutrino interactions within the IMB-3 detector and a catalog of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has been performed. The neutrino interactions consist of two types: the moderate-energy interactions that are contained within the volume of IMB-3 and the upward-going muons produced by high-energy v_μ interactions in the rock around the detector. No evidence is found for moderate- or high-energy neutrino emission from GRBs nor for any neutrinoeutrino correlation. The nonobservation of v/GRB correlations allows upper limits to be placed on the neutrino flux associated with GRBs.
