Description

The implications of recent gamma ray burst (GRB) observations to our understanding of the physics of GRB production will be reviewed. Ultra-high energy cosmic ray and neutrino production in GRBs will be discussed in the light of recent cosmic-ray observations and of new constraints imposed by observations on GRB models. Emphasis will be placed on model predictions that can be tested with operating and planned large scale, high-energy cosmic ray and neutrino detectors.
