Abstract
Previously we identified some short burst events from the BATSE 1B catalog that were consistent with an origin of primordial black hole evaporation at the quark-gluon phase transition. We showed that these events are also consistent with arising from a homogeneous spatial distribution. Recently the PHEBUS group has also indicated that the short bursts are consistent with V/Vmax ~ 1/2. In this paper we describe the results of the study of the BATSE 3B catalog shape that confirm the results from BATSE 1B.Keywords
