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 10 degrees 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.
