Scientific paper

The authors discuss the possibility to exploit the existing BASJE EAS array operating at Mt. Chacaltaya (Bolivia) at 5200 m a.s.l. Simulations of electromagnetic showers in the atmosphere have been performed in order to evaluate the sensitivity of this experiment to detect gamma ray bursts of different time duration, spectrum slope and energy cut-off. The detector can observe events of energy fluence F(E > 1 GeV) ≡ few 10-5erg cm-2, comparable to that measured by satellite instruments during the most intense gamma-ray bursts, provided they occur at low zenith angles and assuming that the energy spectrum at least extends up to ≡1 TeV. In the case of events below the sensitivity of the experiment, upper limits on the high-energy tail of the spectrum can be obtained by measurements in coincidence with satellite observations.
