TL;DR

The Baikal-GVD neutrino telescope, under construction in Lake Baikal, aims to detect astrophysical neutrinos, and preliminary results from 2019-2020 demonstrate its potential for high-energy neutrino searches even during early construction phases.

Contribution

This paper presents the first preliminary results of high-energy neutrino searches with Baikal-GVD during its early construction phase.

Findings

01

Detection of candidate high-energy neutrino events

02

Validation of GVD's design for astrophysical neutrino detection

03

Potential for early phase neutrino astronomy

Abstract

Baikal-GVD is a neutrino telescope currently under construction in Lake Baikal. GVD is formed by multi-meganton subarrays (clusters). The design of Baikal-GVD allows one to search for astrophysical neutrinos already at early phases of the array construction. We present here preliminary results of a search for high-energy neutrinos with GVD in 2019-2020.
