Tamura (Kanagawa U), N. Cannady (GSFC/UMBC), M. L. Cherry (LSU), S. Ricciarini (U of Florence), P. S. Marrocchesi (U of Siena), and the CALET collaboration: The long GRB 230520A (MAXI/GSC detection: Umeki et al., GCN Circ. 33831) was detected in the ground analysis of the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) data around 05:03:24 UTC on 20 May 2023 (referenced to GCN Circ 33831). The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors. The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure that starts at T-82.9 sec, peaks at T+9.0 sec, and ends at T+34.9 sec. The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 98.1 +/- 4.3 sec and 67.5 +/- 3.7 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively. The ground-processed light curve is available at http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1368594148/ The CALET data used in this analysis are provided by the Waseda CALET Operation Center located at Waseda University.
