Gamma ray bursts and extreme energy cosmic rays

Ray Air Showers from > 1020 eV Particles from Space, 1997), 42-53

Extreme Energy Cosmic Ray particles (EECR) with E>1020 eV arriving on Earth with very low flux ( .apprx.1 particle/Km2-1000 yr) require for their investigation very large detecting areas, exceeding values of 1000 km2 sr. Projects with these dimensions are now being proposed: Ground Arrays ("Auger" with 2.times.3500 km2sr) or exploiting the Earth Atm. as seen from space ("AIR WATCH" and OWL, with effective area reaching 1 million km2sr). In this last case, by using as a target the 1013 tons of air viewed, also the high energy neutrino flux can be investigated conveniently. Gamma Rays Bursts are suggested as a possible source for EECR and the associated High Energy neutrino flux.
