Scientific paper

We describe leptonic and hadronic processes in GRB blast waves that lead tothe production of multi-MeV photons. Gamma rays emitted by leptons arelikely to be synchrotron self-Compton emission, though external Comptonphotons could be important in some cases. Cascades associated withphotohadronic processes are probably the most important source of hadronicgamma rays. Cosmic-ray production by GRBs could explain the origin ofhigh-energy cosmic rays. High-energy neutrinos would be the most clearcutprediction of this scenario, though gamma rays associated with hadronicprocesses would have distinct signatures compared to those emitted byleptons.
