Query: Comparison of the Gamma-Ray Burst Sensitivity of Different Detectors   Gamma-ray burst detectors are sensitive at different energies, complicating
the comparison of the burst populations that they detect. The instrument teams
often report their detector sensitivities in their instruments' energy band. I
propose that sensitivities be reported as the threshold peak photon flux F_T
over the 1-1000 keV energy band for a specific spectral shape. The primary
spectral parameter is E_p, the energy of the maximum E^2 N_E propto nu f_nu.
Thus F_T vs. E_p is a useful description of a detector's sensitivity. I find
that Swift will be marginally more sensitive than BATSE for E_p>100 keV, but
significantly more sensitive for E_p<100 keV. Because of its low energy
sensitivity, the FREGATE on HETE-2 is surprisingly sensitive below E_p=100 keV.
Both the WFC on BeppoSAX and the WXM on HETE-2 are/were sensitive for low E_p.
As expected, the GBM on GLAST will be less sensitive than BATSE, while EXIST
will be significantly more sensitive than Swift. The BeppoSAX GRBM was less
sensitive that the WFC, particularly at low E_p.
