Scientific paper

We suggest that cosmic gamma-ray bursts may be produced by collisions of chunks of antimatter of mass about 10 to the 15th g with normal stars. If the total mass fraction of such chunks in the galaxy is about one one-millionth, this model appears capable of accounting for the observed characteristic energy of the spectrum, total energy, duration, and frequency of occurrence of the bursts. Some observational tests are suggested to check the validity of this hypothesis.
