Abstract
An analysis of the time correlation between Gamma-Ray Bursts from BATSE det ector and EXPLORER Gravitational Wave Antenna data was performed from april 1991 to december 1996. a time interval of +/-5 minutes around the trigger time of Gamma-Ragi Bursts (GRBs) was explored. No significant excess of coi ncidences between GRBs and EXPLORER events with an energy of about 100 mK w as found. This result allows to exclude correlations with 1 ms Gravitationa l Wave (GW) bursts with amplitude: h greater than or equal to 2.5 10(-18).
