Search for TeV Gamma-Ray Bursts using Tibet-IIIAir Shower Array Data

Publish Date: 25 Oct 2005

Abstract

Abstract

A search forTeV gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) was carried outby using the data ofTibet-III air shower array. About1. 45 billion eventswere analyzed. A GRB candidatewas chosen as a shower cluster appearing in a given small sky bin and a given time interva.l Themethod of equi-zenith angle was used to estimate the background. No significantTeV GRBswere detected. The flux upper limitat a 95% confidence levelwas estimated to be about10-9~10-7photons/(cm2·s) by theMonte Carlo simulation.
