Search for a possible space-time correlation between high energy neutrinos and gamma-ray bursts
Abstract
We look for space-time correlations between 2233 gamma-bursts in the Batse Catalogs and 894 upward-going muons produced by neutrino interactions in the rock below or inside MACRO. Considering a search cone of 10deg around GRB directions and a time window of +/- 200 s we find 0 events to be compared to 0.035 expected background events due to atmospheric neutrinos. The corresponding upper limit (90% c.l.) is 0.87 10-9 cm-2 upward-going muons per average burst. This article had been submitted as a contribution paper in the ``Rome '98 gamma-Ray Burst workshop'' and should have appeared in the A\&AS special issue for the workshop (A\&AS 1999, 138 (3)).
