Abstract content

ARGO-YBJ is a "full coverage" air shower detector consisting of a 6700 m^2 carpet of Resistive Plate Chambers, located at Yangbajing (Tibet, P.R. China, 4300 m a.s.l.). Its large field of view (~2 sr) makes ARGO-YBJ particularly suitable to detect unpredictable and short duration events such as Gamma Ray Bursts. ARGO-YBJ can search for GRBs using two detection techniques: the "Scaler Mode",
working in the GeV energy range, and the "Shower Mode", at energies above
a few hundreds of GeV. The results of the search for emission from GRBs in coincidence with satellite detections are presented.
