Status of the Baikal-GVD Neutrino Telescope and Main Results

Abstract

The status of the Baikal-GVD neutrino telescope under construction and its main scientific results are presented. The detector consists of 2916 optical sensors located at 81 vertical strings deep below the surface of Lake Baikal. Its geometric configuration is optimized for detecting neutrinos with energies above 100 TeV. Events from muon neutrinos were identified, the flux of which is consistent with the expectation for the flux of atmospheric neutrinos. The data obtained during the alerts of the ANTARES and IceCube telescopes were analyzed. Candidate events for high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin have been obtained.
