dr hab. Paweł Malecki (IFJ PAN): The Baikal-GVD neutrino telescope

Europe/Warsaw
Description

Abstract:

High-energy neutrino astronomy is a fascinating new field of research, rapidly developing over the recent years. It opens a new observation window on the most violent processes in the universe, fitting very well to the concept of multi-messenger astronomy. Constraining  astrophysical neutrino fluxes can also help to understand the long-standing mystery of the origin of the ultra-high energy cosmic rays.  Astronomical studies of high-energy neutrinos are carried out by large-scale next-generation neutrino telescopes located in different regions of the world, forming a global network of complementary detectors. The Baikal-GVD, being currently the largest neutrino telescope in the Northern Hemisphere and still growing up, is an important constituent of this network. This talk briefly reviews working principles, analysis methods and some selected results of the Baikal-GVD neutrino telescope.
