The Baikal Neutrino Telescope - Results and Plans
R. Wischnewski
Abstract
New results from the Baikal neutrino telescope NT200, based on the first 5 years of operation (1998-2003), are presented. We derive an all-flavor limit on the diffuse flux of astrophysical neutrinos between 20 TeV and 50 PeV, extract an enlarged sample of high energy muon neutrino events, and obtain limits on the flux of high energy atmospheric muons. In 2005, the upgraded telescope NT200+ will be commissioned: 3 additional distant strings with only 12 photo-multipliers each will rise the effective volume to 20 Mton at 10 PeV for this largest running neutrino telescope in the Northern hemisphere.
