A Search for Neutrino and Gamma Ray Burst Temporal Correlations with the IMB Detector

If Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are associated with a stellar collapse‐like phenomenon then it is resonable to expect neutrino production to occur at the source. We have performed a temporal correlation analysis with GRBs using the IMB low‐energy neutrino dataset during 809 days of livetime between 1986 and 1990. No correlations were observed placing a 90%. C.L. limit of 0.046 ν interactions per GRB. The dependence of the GRB distances to neutrino yield using volume and shell distribution models is discussed. Lower limits are derived which exclude galactic stellar collapse‐like models.
