Dear SNNET people,
a preprint on the possible neutrino emission correlated with
GRB990705 is now available at this URL:

I would appreciate hearing any comments that you may have.
Thanks,

GRB990705: a detectable neutrino source?
The LVD collaboration
The detection of the Gamma Ray Burst GRB990705 on July 5th 1999,
pointing to the Large Magellanic Clouds, suggested the search for
the possible existence of a neutrino signal, either in coincidence
or preceding the photon burst. We investigated this possibility by
mean of the LVD neutrino telescope at the Gran Sasso Underground
Laboratories.
No evidence of a neutrino signal either simultaneous or preceding
the GRB has been found, hence we set upper limits on the nuebar
flux cross-section product. Assuming thermal nuebar spectra, the
results are expressed in terms of limits on the nuebar flux for
different spectral temperatures.
