Abstract
In the standard internal shock model, the observed X and gamma-ray radiation is assumed to be produced by synchrotron emission. I will show that there are serious problems with this interpretation, calling for other radiation mechanisms, such as quasi-thermal Comptonization and/or Compton drag processes, or both. These new ideas can have important consequences on the more general internal shock scenario, and can be tested by future observations.
