Abstract (from CDS):

We set the first limits on the ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrino fluence at energies greater than 109 GeV from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) based on data from the second flight of the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA). During the 31 day flight of ANITA-II, 26 GRBs were recorded by Swift or Fermi. Of these, we analyzed the 12 GRBs which occurred during quiet periods when the payload was away from anthropogenic activity. In a blind analysis, we observe 0 events on a total background of 0.0044 events in the combined prompt window for all 12 low-background bursts. We also observe 0 events from the remaining 14 bursts. We place a 90% confidence level limit on the E –4 prompt neutrino fluence between 108 GeV < E < 1012 GeV of E 4Φ = 2.5x1017 GeV3 cm–2 from GRB090107A. This is the first reported limit on the UHE neutrino fluence from GRBs above 109 GeV, and the strongest limit above 108 GeV.
