• 318 short, hard candidates found in 46 months in previous study.➡~80 per year, twice the rate of GBM triggered

short GRBs.

• Looks for signals in 2 NaI detectors with 2.5σ and 1.25σ excess above background in the continuous time-tagged events (2μs resolution, 128 energy channels).

• The 2 signal detectors must have valid geometry for a point source.• 18 timescales: 64ms to 31s.

• Only candidates <2.8s are reported at the moment.• 4 energy ranges optimized for short GRBs.

• 27—539 keV; 50—539 keV; 102—539 keV; 102—985 keV• 1-day Poisson probability calculated for each event,

threshold for short candidate notice is 1e-5.• Expected rate of notice ~70/month,

higher during active periods of galactic transients.
