A single low-significance neutrino, compatible with the atmospheric neutrino background, was found in coincidence with one of the 506 observed bursts. Although GRBs have been proposed as candidate sources for ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, our limits on the neutrino flux disfavor much of the parameter space for the latest models. We also find that no more than ~1% of the recently observed astrophysical neutrino flux consists of prompt emission from GRBs that are potentially observable by existing satellites. en_US dc.format.mimetype application/pdf en_US dc.language English en_US dc.subject gammay-ray burst: general en_US dc.subject neutrinos en_US dc.title Search for Prompt Neutrino Emission from Gamma-Ray Bursts with IceCube en_US dc.type text en_US
