News from the Baikal-GVD Collaboration
From 6 to 9 December 2022, the first − for the last three years − in-person meeting of the International Baikal-GVD Collaboration took place at the conference hall of the DLNP Experimental Department of Nuclear Spectroscopy and Radiochemistry.
During four days, above 55 collaborators (including those attending online) discussed the status of the telescope, preparation for the upcoming expedition, functioning of the data taking and analysis system and event reconstruction algorithms. Reports covered all the topics of the Baikal-GVD experiment – from the recent measurements of the isotropic flux of astrophysical neutrinos to plans on developing the facility.

The Neutrino Telescope Baikal-GVD (Baikal Gigaton Volume Detector) is the largest in the Northern Hemisphere. Its primary objective is to detect and study high-energy neutrino fluxes from astrophysical sources. The Baikal Neutrino Telescope is being constructed by concerted efforts of the international collaboration with the leading role of the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow), the founder of this experiment, and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna). More than 70 scientists and engineers from 10 scientific centres of Russia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Germany and Kazakhstan are involved in the project.
