Abstract:
A search for muon neutrinos in coincidence with gamma-ray bursts with
the ANTARES neutrino detector using data from the end of 2007 to 2011
is performed. Expected neutrino fluxes are calculated for each burst
individually. The most recent numerical calculations of the spectra
using the NeuCosmA code are employed, which include Monte Carlo
simulations of the full underlying photohadronic interaction
processes. The discovery probability for a selection of 296 gamma-ray
bursts in the given period is optimised using an extended
maximum-likelihood strategy. No significant excess over background is
found in the data, and 90% confidence level upper limits are placed on
the total expected flux according to the model.

Note (1): The nomenclature in the format YYMMDDff is similar to that used
by Fermi with the last two digits denoting the fraction of the day at which
the GRB occurred.
Note (2): The search-time window is either given by the start and stop times
provided by the satellite or, when these are not provided, as T90 extended
by 30%.
Note (3): If not measured, the default value of 2.15 is chosen.
