Phys. Rev. D 68, 083001 (2003) [7 pages]Neutrino tomography of gamma ray bursts and massive stellar collapsesReceived 27 March 2003; revised 23 June 2003; published 1 October 2003 Neutrinos at energies above TeV can serve as probes of the stellar progenitor and jet dynamics of gamma ray bursts arising from stellar core collapses. They can also probe collapses which do not lead to gamma rays, which may be much more numerous. We calculate detailed neutrino spectra from shock accelerated protons in jets just below the outer stellar envelope, before their emergence. We present neutrino flux estimates from such preburst jets for two different massive stellar progenitor models. These should be distinguishable by IceCube, and we discuss the implications. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
