Abstract

Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic explosions in the universe, and they have been proposed as the most promising candidate sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). As a result of interactions of UHECR within the host environment and during their propagation towards Earth, high energy neutrinos and photons are also expected from both prompt and afterglow emission. In this talk, I will review the standard theory of particle acceleration and production in a GRB fireball, and multi-wavelength and multi-messeger observations of GRB emission. I will present the prediction of PeV — EeV neutrino production and evidence of GeV gamma ray radiation, and the expected detection in IceCube, Pierre Auger Observatory and CTA (the next generation of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes). The investigation of high-energy particles will provide insight into the nature and complicated mechanisms of GRBs.
