Description

The study of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is often advanced by detections of individual spectacular events. In the last few years, very-high-energy (VHE, >100 GeV) emission from GRBs has been detected for the first time, allowing us to build a multiwavelength picture of GRBs that extends all the way up to TeV energies. In this talk, I will give an overview of the current state of VHE GRB detections, and the potential implications for the 'standard' model of GRB emission.
