Gamma Ray Bursts in the HAWC Era

Peter Mészáros, Katsuaki Asano, Kohta Murase, Derek Fox, He Gao, Nicholas Senno

Published 2015-06-08Version 1

Gamma-Ray Bursts are the most energetic explosions in the Universe, and are among the most promising for detecting multiple non-electromagnetic signals, including cosmic rays, high energy neutrinos and gravitational waves. The multi-GeV to TeV gamma-ray range of GRB could have significant contributions from hadronic interactions, mixed with more conventional leptonic contributions. This energy range is important for probing the source physics, including overall energetics, the shock parameters and the Lorentz factor. We discuss some of the latest observational and theoretical developments in the field.

Comments: 15 pages, based on an invited talk at the HAWC inauguration conference, Puebla, Mexico, March 19, 2015. To appear in Pubs. Academia de Ciencias de Mexico, Eds. Alberto Carrami\~nana, Daniel Rosa, Stefan Westerhoff, Omar Tibolla
