TL;DR: Experiment "Pi of the sky" as discussed by the authors was designed to search for prompt optical emission from GRB sources, 32 CCD cameras covering 2 steradians will monitor the sky continuously.
Abstract: Experiment “Pi of the Sky” is designed to search for prompt optical emission from GRB sources. 32 CCD cameras covering 2 steradians will monitor the sky continuously. The data will be analysed on-line in search for optical flashes. The prototype with 2 cameras operated at Las Campanas (Chile) since 2004 has recognised several outbursts of flaring stars and has given limits for a few GRB.

TL;DR: In this article, the possible correlations of very short gamma ray bursts with the CMB, cosmic rays, and high energy photons and cosmic rays is briefly discussed, and the experiment correlating in real time data from Maze cosmic ray detector and Pi of the Sky robotic telescope is also discussed.
Abstract: It is possible that violent processes resulting in Gamma Ray Bursts produce also high energy photons and cosmic rays. The possible correlations of very short GRB with, e.g., CMB, cosmic rays is briefly discussed. We have also begun preparation of the experiment correlating in real time data from Maze cosmic ray detector and Pi of the Sky robotic telescope.
