We study the nature of long gamma ray burst (LGRB) progenitors using cosmological simulations of structure formation and galactic evolution. We developed a Monte Carlo numerical code which generates LGRBs coupled to cosmological simulations. The simulations allows us to follow the formation of galaxies self-consistently. We model the detectability of LGRBs in order to compare results with observational data obtained by high-energy satellites.
