Search for neutrinos from gamma-ray bursts with the Baikal neutrino telescope NT200

We present the results of our search for neutrino events coinciding in time and direction with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with the Baikal underwater neutrino telescope NT200. No events confirming a neutrino accompaniment of GRBs have been detected. Model-independent limits (Greens function) on the neutrino flux from GRBs have been obtained. For the Waxman-Bahcall neutrino spectrum, the limit on the neutrino flux from a GRB has been found to be E 2 Φ ν ⩽ 1.1 × 10−6 GeV cm−2 s−1 sr−1.
