Abstract
A temporal correlation analysis between moderate- (60 Mev less than or equal to E(nu) less than or equal to 2500 MeV) and high-energy (E(nu) , greater than or equal to 2000 MeV) neutrino interactions within the IMB-3 detector and a catalog of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has been perfo rmed. The neutrino interactions consist of two types: the moderate-ene rgy interactions that are contained within the volume of IMB-3 and the upward-going muons produced by high-energy nu(mu) interactions in the rock around the detector. No evidence is found for moderate- or high- energy neutrino emission from GRBs nor for any neutrino/neutrino corre lation. The nonobservation of nu/GRB correlations allows upper limits to be placed on the neutrino flux associated with GRBs.
