A Search for Moderate- and High-Energy Neutrino Emission Correlated with Gamma-Ray Bursts
Abstract
A temporal correlation analysis between moderate- (60 Mev less than or equal to Enugreater than or equal to 2500 MeV) and high-energy (Enu greater than or equal to 2000 MeV) 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 numu interactions in the rock around the detector. No evidence is found for moderate- or high-energy neutrino emission from GRBs nor for any neutrino/neutrino correlation. The nonobservation of nu/GRB correlations allows upper limits to be placed on the neutrino flux associated with GRBs.
