High energy neutrinos from gamma ray bursts: Event rates in neutrino telescopes
High energy neutrinos from gamma ray bursts: Event rates in neutrino telescopes
Following Waxman and Bahcall we calculate the event rate, energy and zenith angle dependence of neutrinos produced in the fireball model of gamma ray bursts (GRB). We emphasize the primary importance of i) burst-to-burst fluctuations and ii) absorption of the neutrinos in the Earth. From the astronomical point of view, …
