Day 167

Friday.  Caught a cold, working hard.  Must read Gary's paper to work with Tim.  Helping Zahra debug.  Astroph was offline for 4 days out of 5 this week, and now we have 76 papers today.  I am nearly 2 weeks behind.

Multi-GeV Neutrino emission from magnetized gamma ray bursts
Gao, Meszaros


Neutrino emissivity from nuclear collisions in magniteically dominated collisional models of gamma-ray bursts: results indicate that significant mutli-GeV neutrino fluxes are expected for typical EM detected bursts.  For detecting at least one muon event in Icecube and Deep Core sub-array, a single burst must be near the high end of the luminosity function, and at z<0.2.  Calculate luminosity and distance ranges that can generate 0.01 to 1 muon event per GRB.


* if the GRB is bright and nearby, then Icecube might be able to detect one muon event from its neutrino emission.
