Scientific paper

Milagro is a water-Cherenkov detector capable of observing air showers produced by γ rays. The wide field of view (~2 sr) and high duty cycle (>90%) of Milagro make it ideal for searching for transient very high energy emission. We will report on the results of a blind search of the Milagro data for very high energy γ-ray outbursts within the Milagro field of view for durations ranging from 160 μs to 6 minutes. No trigger from another instrument is required, instead the entire reconstructed data set is systematically searched in time, space and emission duration. While the peak sensitivity of Milagro is above 1 TeV, the detector has substantial effective area at lower energies (~50 m2 at 100 GeV, ~2500 m2 at 1 TeV).
