Abstract

We propose to analyse the gamma-ray burst data from events that will be detected by IBIS, SPI and JEM-X within their field of view. We will take advantage of the high spectral and temporal resolution, the good S/N (for GRBs) and the broad-band capabilities (3 keV - 10 MeV) of this set of detectors, to address some outstanding issues about GRBs, such as the existence and nature of high-energy early afterglow emission, the HE vs. NHE classification of bursts, the existence and meaning of high-energy spectral breaks, and the luminosity-pulse lag relationship.
