Abstract
A search for gamma-ray bursts in the GeV–TeV energy range has been performed by INCA, an air shower array working at 5200 m of altitude at the Chacaltaya Laboratory (Bolivia). The altitude of the detector and the use of the “single-particle technique” allows to lower the energy threshold up to few GeVs. No significant signals are observed during the occurrences of 125 GRBs detected by BATSE, and the obtained upper limits on the energy fluence in the interval 1–103 (1–102) GeV, range from 3.2 (8.6) ×10 −5 to 2.6 (7.0) ×10−2 erg cm −2 depending on the zenith angle of the events. These limits, thanks to the extreme altitude of INCA, are the lowest ever obtained in the sub-TeV energy region by a ground-based experiment.
