The BAIKAL neutrino experiment - physics results and perspectives

R. Wischnewski, for the Baikal Collaboration

Published 2008-11-07Version 1

We review the status of the Lake Baikal Neutrino Experiment. The Neutrino Telescope NT200 has been operating since 1998 and has been upgraded to the 10 Mton detector NT200+ in 2005. We present selected astroparticle physics results from long-term operation of NT200. Also discussed are activities towards acoustic detection of UHE-energy neutrinos, and results of associated science activities. Preparation towards a km3-scale (Gigaton volume) detector in Lake Baikal is currently a central activity. As an important milestone, a km3-prototype string, based on completely new technology, has been installed and is operating together with NT200+ since April, 2008.

Comments: 8 pages, 12 figures; presented at VLVNT08 (Very Large Volume Neutrino Telescope) Workshop, Toulon, France, April, 2008; to appear in NIM-A
