Abstract
We are studying the constraints placed on the jet of gamma-ray bursts by the association of a high energy cosmic ray detection and the historical GRB 980425. Using the properties of this burst, we define a set of similar events, which statistically could produce similar UHECRs. From statistical studies on that sample, we show that the jet of GRBs should be extremely baryon-poor, if we want to account for the observed detection rate of UHECRs on Earth. This leads us to hypothesize that GRB jets are not accelerating the progenitor remnant but rather its surrounding medium.
