Scientific paper

There have been several suggestions that GRBs, if galactic, might be detected from M31. With the current crisis in determining the burster distance scale, this experiment has become crucial. EREBUS has been designed to detect a significant burst signal from M31 for any reasonable galactic model that is consistent with the BATSE isotropy and inhomogeneity constraints. The experiment uses 16 broadly collimated 2000 cm2 NaI detectors, obtaining a factor of ~10 improvement in peak sensitivity over BATSE. The similarity to the BATSE detectors eliminates spectral and temporal free parameters in model fits.
