The BAIKAL Neutrino Experiment: From NT200 to NT200+
R. Wischnewski
Abstract
The Baikal Neutrino Telescope has been operating in its NT200 configuration since April, 1998. The telescope has been upgraded in April, 2005, to the 10 Mton scale detector NT200+. It's main physics goal is the detection of signals from high energy neutrino cascades. NT200+ reaches a 3-year sensitivity of 2 × 10-7cm-2s-1sr-1GeV for an all-flavor diffuse cosmic E-2 neutrino flux for energies 102 TeV ÷105 TeV. Desgin and sensitivity of NT200+ are described. NT200+ is forming the basic building block of a future km3-scale (Gigaton-Volume) Baikal Telescope. Research and development work on that next stage detector has started.
