Scientific paper

Superconducting strings forming cusps and releasing a burst of particles are candidates for an explanation of gamma-ray bursts. In this Letter the behavior of these particles is studied. They initially form a confined plasma in the Uy(1) field that is expected near the string as a consequence of the restoration of the electro-weak symmetry in a strong magnetic field. This plasma then cools as a Fermi-Dirac blackbody preferentially via neutrino emission. High-energy neutrino fluences coincident with the gamma-ray bursts which are potentially detectable in existing neutrino and air-shower detectors are predicted. The combined effect of cusps of z much greater than 1 would lead to a background of isotropic neutrinos at lower energies. Possibly the atmospheric-neutrino problem is due to these neutrinos.
