Gamma-ray burst (GRB) 130427A is one of the most energetic GRBs ever observed. The initial pulse up to 2.5 seconds is possibly the brightest well-isolated pulse observed to date. A fine time resolution spectral analysis shows power-law decays of the peak energy from the onset of the pulse, consistent with models of internal synchrotron shock pulses. However, a strongly correlated power-law behavior is observed between the luminosity and the spectral peak energy that is inconsistent with curvature effects arising in the relativistic outflow. It is difficult for any of the existing models to account for all of the observed spectral and temporal behaviors simultaneously.

We provide a brief review of the current situation concerning gamma ray bursts, with emphasis on the role that particle physics may play in the interesting phenomena. The current understanding of GRB origins allows for a large range of physical processes from primordial black hole evaporation to neutron star and black hole collisions. There does not seem to be a simple standard luminosity function and the burst times range from ms to 1000 s of seconds five orders of magnitude. It is likely that some type of fireball model is needed to explain the GRBs. No counterparts of GRB have been detected. We indicate some ways in which progress can be made in either the study of the fine time structure (~μs) or the detection of very high energy photons (>100 GeV to >100 TeV). We also indicate how a small but unique class of the GRB could come from primordial black hole evaporation.

We present the first physically motivated background model for the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) on board the Fermi satellite. Such a physically motivated background model has the potential to significantly improve the scientific output of Fermi/GBM, as it can be used to improve the background estimate for spectral analysis and localization of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and other sources. Additionally, this model can also lead to detections of new transient events, since long and weak, or slowly rising, events do not activate one of the existing trigger algorithms. In this paper we show the derivation of such a physically motivated background model, which includes the modeling of the different background sources and the correct handling of the response of GBM. While the goal of the paper is to introduce the model rather than developing a transient search algorithm, we demonstrate the ability of the model to fit the background seen by GBM by showing the following four applications for (1) a canonical GRB, (2) the ultra-long GRB 091024, (3) the V404 Cygni outburst in June 2015, and (4) the ultra-long GRB 130925A.
