What can BeppoSAX tell us about short GRBs: An update from the Subsecond   GRB Project
  We present some statistical considerations on the BeppoSAX hunt for subsecond GRBs at the Scientific Operation Center. Archive analysis of a BATSE/SAX sub-sample of bursts indicates that the GRB Monitor is sensitive to short (< 2 sec) events, that are in fact about 22% of the total. The non-detection of corresponding prompt X-ray counterparts to short bursts in the Wide Field Cameras, in about 3 years of operations, is discussed: with present data no implications on the X-to-gamma-ray spectra of short vs long GRBs may be inferred. Finally, the status of searching procedures at SOC is reviewed.
