Scientific paper

We show that the detection of neutrinos from a typical γ ray burst requires a kilometer-scale detector. We argue that large bursts should be visible with the neutrino telescopes under construction. We emphasize the three techniques by which neutrino telescopes can perform this search: by triggering on (i) bursts of muons from muon neutrinos, (ii) muons from air cascades initiated by high energy γ rays and (iii) showers made by relatively low energy (~=100 MeV) electron neutrinos. The timing of neutrino-photon coincidences may yield a measurement of the neutrino mass to order 10-4-10-5 eV.
