High-energy neutrinos from GRBs

Neutrinos at energies ranging from multi-GeV to EeV from GRBs can yield interesting physical information about fundamental interactions, about (ultra-high energy) cosmic rays, and about the nature of GRBs and their environment. Such predicted GRB neutrino signals may be detected in the coming (few) years by forthcoming experiments such as Ice-Cube, Auger, RICE, and KM3NeT. In this meeting we will discuss recent reports on the GRB-Metallicity anti-correlation and the resulting flux of cosmogenic (produced by cosmic rays) neutrinos, flavor ratios from GRBs, and limits on the transient cosmogenic neutrinos from GRBs derived from RICE data. Before the recent reports, there will be a short general introduction, featuring a brief overview of the first results from Auger and AMANDA-II, as well as a derivation of Waxman-Bahcall limit, and some promising scenarios to produce high energy neutrinos in GRBs.
