Abstract—
The Baksan Underground Scintillation Telescope has been used to search for neutrino bursts since the mid-1980s. We use two parts of the telescope with a total mass of 240 tons as a target. The actual observing time from June 30, 1980, to June 30, 2020, was 34.4 years. No neutrino burst candidate events were detected during this period, placing an upper bound of 0.067 g−1 on the average frequency of core collapse supernovas in the Galaxy at a 90% confidence level.
