Abstract

As the Fermi observatory has revealed, the GRB light curves show variant behaviours in different energy bands. Especially, the onset of GeV emission tend to lag that at lower energy. Various models to explain the GeV-delay, including early afterglow models or hadronic models, have been proposed. We have developed a time-dependent code for emission processes with one-zone approximation. The temporal evolution of GRB spectra is discussed based on leptonic inverse Compton and hadronic cascade models. This offers important predictions for future observations such as CTA.
