Search for cascade events with Baikal-GVD

Understand

Baikal-GVD is a next generation, kilometer-scale neutrino telescope currently under construction in Lake Baikal.

• GVD is formed by multi-megaton sub-arrays (clusters) and is designed for the detection of astrophysical neutrino fluxes at energies from a few TeV up to 100 PeV.
• The design of the Baikal-GVD allows one to search for astrophysical neutrinos with flux values measured by IceCube already at early phases of the array construction.
• We present here preliminary results of the search for high-energy neutrinos via the cascade mode with the Baikal-GVD neutrino telescope.
