DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mr. VASILEIOU\, Vlasios (Department of Physics\, Uni
 versity of Maryland\, College Park\, MD 20742)\nMilagro is a water-Cherenk
 ov detector capable of observing air showers produced by  gamma- rays. The
  wide field of view (~2 sr) and high duty cycle (>90%) of Milagro make it 
 ideal for searching for transient very high energy emission. We will repor
 t on the results of a blind search of the Milagro data for very high energ
 y ranging from 160 μs to 6 minutes. While this analysis is primarily aime
 d at detecting  -ray bursts (GRBs)\, it could also be  sensitive to other 
 phenomena like primordial black-hole evaporation and soft gamma -ray repea
 ters. No trigger\nfrom another instrument is required\, instead the entire
  reconstructed data set is systematically searched in time\, space and emi
 ssion duration. Four years of Milagro data are searched\, which correspond
 s to 2920 sr days of exposure. While the peak sensitivity of Milagro is ab
 ove 1 TeV\, the detector has substantial effective area at lower energies 
 (~50 m^2 at 100 GeV\, ~2500 m^2 at 1 TeV).\n\nhttps://indico.nucleares.una
