The high-energy gamma-ray fluence and energy spectrum of GRB 970417a from observations with Milagrito

R. Atkins, W. Benbow, D. Berley +38

Evidence of TeV emission from GRB970417a has been previously reported using data from the Milagrito detector. Constraints on the TeV fluence and the energy spectrum are now derived…
