Abstract

ARGO‐YBJ is a “full coverage” air shower detector consisting of a 6700 m2 carpet of Resistive Plate Counters, located at Yangbajing (Tibet, P.R. China, 4300 m a.s.l). Its large field of view (∼2 sr, limited only by the atmospheric absorption) and high duty‐cycle make ARGO‐YBJ particularly suitable to detect unpredictable and short duration events such as GRBs. ARGO‐YBJ works using two techniques: the “Scaler Mode,” which reaches the lower energy limit (∼1 GeV) of the detector, and the “Shower Mode,” with an energy threshold of a few hundreds of GeV. Here we present the results of the search for high‐energy emission from GRBs in coincidence with satellite detections.
