Scientific paper

The spectral and temporal correlations between gamma-ray bursts' hard X-ray ( ˜100 keV) and gamma-ray ( ˜1 GeV) emission will probe particle acceleration in different emitting regimes. GLAST's primary instrument, the Large Area Telescope (LAT) will be a pair-conversion detector sensitive in the 0.2-300 GeV energy band. The GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM) will be an array of 12 NaI and 2 BGO detectors covering the >10 keV to 25 MeV band; the GBM's purpose is to detect bursts and extend GLAST's energy coverage to bursts. We describe GLAST's burst operations, and present predictions for the burst detection rate.
