Abstract content
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most powerful explosion in the universe. They are possible candidates of the sources of Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) and very high-energy neutrinos/gamma-rays. I would like to review the explosion mechanism of GRBs and how UHECRs can be produced in GRBs. I would like to present our recent study on the central engine of GRBs with some movies of numerical simulations. I would like to give our recent study on production of UHECRs very high-energy neutrinos in GRBs.
