Searches for Neutrinos from Gamma Ray Bursts with AMANDA-II and IceCube
Abstract
The hadronic fireball model predicts a neutrino flux in the TeV to several PeV range simultaneous with the prompt photon emission of GRBs. The discovery of high energy neutrinos in coincidence with a gamma ray burst would help confirm the role of GRBs as accelerators of high energy cosmic rays. We summarize the methods employed by the AMANDA experiment in the search for neutrinos from GRBs and present results from several analyses.
