Abstract
We show that a significant fraction of the energy of a gamma-ray burst (GRB ) is probably converted to a burst of 10(17)-10(19) eV neutrinos and multip le GeV gamma-rays that follow the main GRB by similar to 10 s. If GRBs acce lerate protons to similar to 10(20) eV, a suggestion that recently gained s upport from observations of GRB afterglows, then both the neutrinos and the gamma-rays may be detectable.
