摘要：

Observations suggest that gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are produced by the dissipation of the kinetic energy of a relativistic fireball. We show that a large fraction, greater than or equal to 10%, of the fireball energy is expected to be converted by photomeson production to a burst of similar to 10(14) eV neutrinos. A km(2) neutrino detector would observe at least several tens of events per year correlated with GRBs, and test for neutrino properties (e.g., flavor oscillations, for which upward moving tau's would be a unique signature, and coupling to gravity) with an accuracy many orders of magnitude better than is currently possible.
