摘要
This paper presents a gamma-ray down-going induced muon analysis combining the Gamma-ray bursts Coordinates Network (which announces a possible GRB event) with a blind strategy. The goal of this analysis is to find an astrophysical source through the ability of distinguishing between a real alert (signal) and a fake one (background), through comparisons between the position of an Antares event and the position of the alert, leading us to a better understanding of gamma-ray bursts.
