Description

The study of GRBs at gamma-ray energies has been recently boosted by the detection of a handful of events at energies above 100 GeV. These observations are revealing the existence of a surprisingly bright TeV component present at least in some of the most energetics GRBs during their afterglow phase.
I this talk I will review the observations and the theoretical interpretations put forward, with a focus on issues and open questions that future observations will help to clarify.
