 Long-term HE $\gamma$ emission from accelerated protons in the forward-shock has been predicted in~\cite{LI}. This model predicts GeV inverse Compton emission even one day after the burst.
-Even considering pure electron-synchrotron radiation predicts measurable GeV emission for a significant fraction of GRBs~\cite{ZHANG2}. In order to be able to describe prompt synchrotron optical flashes (like observed in GRB990123 by ROTSE), GeV--TeV emission by inverse Compton scattering of the MeV photons should be produced at the same time~\cite{BELOBORODOV}.\\

 GeV emission in GRBs is particularly sensitive to the Lorentz factor and the photon density of the emitting material -

The GRAND array has reported some excess of observed muons during seven BATSE bursts~\cite{GRAND}. In this context, especially the publication from the TASC detector on \eg is important~\cite{GONZALES}, finding a HE spectral component presumably due to ultra-relativistic acceleration of hadrons and producing a spectral index of $-1$ with no cut-off up to the detector energy limit (200\,MeV).\\

The spectra were extrapolated to GeV energies with a simple continuation of the observed high-energy power law behaviour and the calculated fluxes compared with \ma sensitivities. Setting conservative cuts on observation times and significances,
 and assuming an energy threshold of 15~GeV, a GRB detection rate of $0.5-2$ per year
 was obtained for an assumed observation delay between 15 and 60 sec. and a \ba trigger rate ($\sim$\,360/year).
