Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The current state of the Baksan Large Neutrino Telescope project is reviewed. Selected results are presented from the first stage of the project, a prototype detector with a liquid scintillator weighing 0.5 tons. Results from the second stage of the project, a prototype with a liquid scintillator having a mass of five tons, are described along with prospects for the project.
