Abstract
A search for high-energy γ-ray bursts was carried out by an airborne experiment. We loaded a lead-glass-based electron-telescope onto a cargo airplane and measured secondary electrons at airplane altitude. The energy threshold of this method was 20 GeV for primary γ-rays; the angular resolution was 1.5 degrees. We searched for transient events from the same directions within various time windows. The total exposure time was 54.6 hours, and we set upper limits for the full-sky rates of high-energy γ-ray bursts.
