Abstract

A project of the NT1000 deep-water neutrino telescope with an effective volume of ∼1 km3 is currently being developed by the BAIKAL collaboration. The telescope will be located in Lake Baikal in close vicinity of the NT200+ detector, which is currently in operation. The telescope will be composed of 12 clusters with 8 similar strings of optical modules in each (each string has two sections of the NT1000 optical modules). The section of the NT1000 optical modules has been developed using higher-efficiency photomultiplier tubes and state-of-the-art electronics. The field tests of the experimental string consisting of two sections with six optical modules in each have been performed. The results of these investigations are used in the project of the NT1000 neutrino telescope and in the hydrological study of Lake Baikal.
