The Baikal-GVD neutrino telescope, the largest in the Northern Hemisphere, will be launched on March 13. This was reported on Saturday in the press service of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.
"The Baikal-GVD deep-sea neutrino telescope, the largest in the Northern Hemisphere, will be launched on Lake Baikal on March 13. The ceremony will be attended by the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Valery Falkov, Director of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research Grigory Trubnikov, Governor of the Irkutsk Region Igor Kobzev, " TASS reports.
The telescope is installed at a distance of 3.5 km from the shore at a depth of 750-1300 m in the southern basin of Lake Baikal. Baikal-GVD is designed for recording and studying ultrahigh-energy neutrino fluxes coming from outer space, from the bowels of galaxies being born or dying, and various exotic stellar objects. It is assumed that these particles carry information about what happened in the Universe millions and billions of years ago and shed light on the mysteries of its origin and evolution.
