Description

The Baikal Gigaton Volume Detector is a neutrino telescope currently under construction in Lake Baikal. The main goal of Baikal-GVD is to detect high-evergy cosmic neutrinos using both track-like and cascade-like events. Baikal-GVD has been following the IceCube telescope neutrino alerts since September 2020. The prompt real-time response (the delay is ~ 3 min) to these alerts is complemented with offline search for coincidences in the time windows of +/- 1h and +/- 12h. If a coincidence is found, the potential signal is compared with the expected background and upper limits on the neutrino fluence are calculated.
