A possible short-duration GRB160307A (trigger #1141348444) triggered the CALET
Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 01:18:34.96 on 7 March 2016. The burst signal
was detected by SGM instrument.
The light curve of the SGM shows a single peak. The emission starts and peaks
at T0-0.3 sec and ends at T0+0.2 sec. The T90 duration measured by the SGM data
is 0.4 +- 0.2 sec (40-1000 keV).
Identification of this possible short event by other spacecraft is strongly encouraged.
The CGBM data used in this analysis are provided by the Waseda CALET Operation Center
located at the Waseda University.
