Estimation Of Grb Detection By Fiberglast

FiberGLAST is one of several instrument concepts being developed for possible inclusion as the primary Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) instrument. The predicted FiberGLAST effective area is more than 12,000 cm(2) for energies between 30 MeV and 300 GeV, with afield of view that is essentially flat from 0 degrees - 80 degrees. The detector will achieve a sensitivity more than 10 times that of EGRET. We present results of simulations that illustrate the sensitivity of FiberGLAST for the detection of gamma-ray bursts.
