The ARGO-YBJ sensitivity to GRBs


Abstract in English

ARGO-YBJ is a full coverage air shower detector under construction at the YangBaJing Laboratory (4300 m a.s.l., Tibet, P.R. of China). Its main goals are gamma-ray astronomy and cosmic ray studies. In this paper we present the capabilities of ARGO-YBJ in detecting the emission from Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) at energies E>10 GeV.
