TL;DR
This study analyzes the ambient light in deep Baikal waters using the Baikal-GVD neutrino detector, focusing on water luminescence variations over several years to improve understanding of the detector environment.
Contribution
It provides the first detailed analysis of water luminescence variations in Baikal waters using data from the Baikal-GVD detector over multiple years.
Findings
Detected time variations in luminescent activity
Mapped spatial distribution of ambient light
Identified correlations with environmental factors
Abstract
The Baikal-GVD neutrino detector is a deep-underwater neutrino telescope under construction and recently after the winter 2023 deployment it consists of 3456 optical modules attached on 96 vertical strings. This 3-dimensional array of photo-sensors allows to observe ambient light in the vicinity of the Baikal-GVD telescope that is associated mostly with water luminescence. Results on time and space variations of the luminescent activity are reviewed based on data collected in 2018-2022.
