Results from the BAIKAL Neutrino Telescope

Abstract We review the present status of the Baikal Neutrino Project, present updated results on the search for high energy extraterrestrial neutrinos, fast magnetic monopoles and neutrinos induced by WIMP annihilation in the center of the Earth and compare the recorded atmospheric neutrino flux to predictions

An upper limit on the diffuse flux of high energy neutrinos obtained with the Baikal detector NT-96

We present the results of a search for high-energy neutrinos with the Baikal underwater Cherenkov detector NT-96. An upper limit on the diffuse flux of ν e + ν μ + ν μ ̄ of E 2 Φ ν (E)<1.4×10 −5 cm −2 s −1 sr −1 GeV within neutrino energy range 10 4 –10 7 GeV is obtained, assuming an E −2 behavior of the neutrino spectrum
