Title: The Prediction and Detection of UHE Neutrino Bursts.

Abstract: In this paper we look at \sim 10^14 eV neutrino bursts which arepredicted to be observed in correlation with gamma ray bursts (GRBs).We describe an efficient way of constructing a km^2 effective areadetector for these neutrino bursts. The proposed detector will cost < $3M and will operate in the 4-km deep water off St. Croix for at least one yearone year, sufficient time to collect the expected \sim 20 events in coincidence with satellite measured GRBs provided the fireball model is correct.Coincident gamma ray and neutrino bursts can be used to test the limits of the relativity principles.
