Abstract: (AIP)
We describe the theoretical modeling and analysis techniques associated with a preliminary search for correlated neutrino emission from GRB980703a, which triggered the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE GRB trigger 6891), using archived data from the Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array (AMANDA‐B10). Under the assumption of associated hadronic acceleration, the expected observed neutrino energy flux is directly derived, based upon confronting the fireball phenomenology with the discrete set of observed electromagnetic parameters of GRB980703a, gleaned from ground‐based and satellite observations, for four models, corrected for oscillations. Models 1 and 2, based upon spectral analysis featuring a prompt photon energy fit to the Band function, utilize an observed spectroscopic redshift, for isotropic and anisotropic emission geometry, respectively. Model 3 is based upon averaged burst parameters, assuming isotropic emission. Model 4 based upon a Band fit, features an estimated redshift from the lag‐luminosity relation, with isotropic emission. Consistent with our AMANDA‐II analysis of GRB030329, which resulted in a flux upper limit of ∼ 0.150GeV /cm2/s for model 1, we find differences in excess of an order of magnitude in the response of AMANDA‐B10, among the various models for GRB980703a. Implications for future searches in the era of Swift and IceCube are discussed.Note:
