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.
