AbstraktAbstract

The Baikal-GVD deep-water neutrino telescope of the cubic kilometer scale, focused on research in the field of astrophysics and particle physics, is being built in Lake Baikal. As of 2021, the effective volume of the detector reaches 0.4 km3 for cascades generated by high-energy astrophysical neutrinos. The paper describes the design and basic characteristics of the telescope data acquisition system, discusses some aspects of deep-water engineering related to the deployment of the detector, and presents selected results obtained with the partially complete detector.
