Description

Owing to the advantages in the wide field of view, high duty cycle and large effective area, ground based high altitude EAS experiments play an important role in studying the high energy gamma ray bursts (GRBs). While shower mode technique provides the most sensitive way in searching for GRBs above 100GeV energy, the single-particle technique can extend the GRBs search energy down to GeV level. In this paper, by assuming a prototype setup composing three Water Cherenkov Detector (WCD) units locating at 5200m a.s.l. , in PuMa JiangTang, Tibet, China, we study the sensitivity of GRB detection using single-particle technique.
