GRB duration classification ≤
Data selection and analyzed groups of events Data selection: We have formed the list of short gamma-ray bursts, registered by SPI-ACS INTEGRAL in 2002 -2007, confirmed by other space-borne experiments (Swift, Konus, HETE etc), which consists of 86 events. Heavy particle triggers have been selected. Analyzed groups of events: Confirmed short GRBs from our catalog (hereafter shown by black color) Unconfirmed short GRBs with T 90<2 s (blue color) Unconfirmed short GRBs with T 90≤ 0. 05 s (green color) Heavy particle triggers (red color).

Conclusions We have formed the list of short gamma-ray bursts, registered by SPIACS INTEGRAL in 2002 -2007, confirmed by other space-borne experiments (Swift, Konus, HETE etc), which consists of 86 events. The extended emission up to 25 s after main peak has been found in averaged light curves of both confirmed and unconfirmed short GRBs registered by SPI-ACS INTEGRAL in energy band >80 ke. V The extended emission of the GRBs registered by SPI-ACS is in energy range above ~80 ke. V which may evidence against of explanation of extended emission as a rise of the afterglow. The evidence for extended emission in averaged light curve of unconfirmed short duration events of SPI-ACS supports the same origin of unconfirmed events as short duration gamma-ray bursts and increases the rate of INTEGRAL short duration bursts in three times, and the portion of short burst may be up to 45% of all Gamma-Ray bursts detected by SPI-ACS. The extended emission in averaged light curve of unconfirmed short duration events with T 90≤ 0. 05 s of SPI-ACS may evidence against of explanation of these events as evaporations of primordial black holes and supports the assumption, that these events have the same origin as short duration gamma-ray bursts with T 90<2 s.
