Scientific paper

The search for very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) seeks to understand the highest energy particles accelerated in the bursts. So far, there has been no definitive observation of VHE emission associated with any GRB. The new generation of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes is probing GRB emission in the 100-1000 GeV regime as never before possible. We describe the GRB observing program at VERITAS and report on the initial results from GRBs observed with VERITAS. For several bursts, data have been collected starting within the first 2 to 4 minutes after the beginning of the GRB.
