Scientific paper

EGRET has extended the highest energy observations of gamma-ray bursts to GeV gamma rays. Such high energies imply the fireball that is radiating the gamma rays has a bulk Lorentz factor of several hundred. However, EGRET only detected a few gamma-ray bursts. GLAST will likely detect several hundred bursts and extend the maximum energy to a few 100 GeV. Meanwhile new ground based detectors with sensitivity to TeV gamma rays from gamma-ray bursts are beginning operation.
