Study of the Correlations Between the Highest Energy Cosmic Ray Showers and Gamma Ray Bursts

Abstract

We examine the correlation between the arrival direction of ultra high energy cosmic ray showers and gamma ray bursts in the third BATSE catalog. We find no correlation between the two data sets. We also find no correlations between a pre-BATSE burst catalog and the Haverah Park Ultra High Energy shower set that cover approximately the same period of time.
