Description
Baikal-GVD is a gigaton-scale neutrino telescope being constructed in
Lake Baikal. The detector presently includes 13 independent detector
sub-arrays (clusters), each consisting of 8 or 9 strings, each of
which holds 36 optical modules. High-energy muon neutrino interaction
through the W-boson exchange results in the production of muons with
range of propagation reaching many kilometers. Reconstructing the
neutrino-induced muon tracks in the detector provides a measurement of
the neutrino direction with precision up to 0.2 deg and beyond,
enabling the use of the neutrino data for astronomy. The Baikal-GVD data from data-taking seasons 2019-2023 have been processed with a dedicated
track reconstruction algorithm, yielding a sample of few thousand
neutrino candidate events. The data sample have been employed to
search for neutrino emission from point-like neutrino sources. In this
report we briefly discuss the data reduction algorithms and present
the preliminary analysis results.
