Gamma-Ray Bursts observations with Cherenkov telescopes: H.E.S.S. legacy observations and optimisation of follow-up and detection with the Large-Sized Telescopes of CTA

The commissioning of the first Large Size Telescope (LST) of the CTA experiment has started. There will be a participation to the commissioning with the development of the structure deformation model of the telescope. There will be an active participation in the gamma ray burst analysis groups of the HESS and CTA/LST collaborations with the analysis of bursts and following of transient sources in the gamma-ray sky. The actual Cherenkov telescopes showed recently their ability to detect gamma ray bursts. The increased sensibility of CTA should allow detecting of sufficient numbers of gamma ray bursts in order to realize population and cosmology studies.
