Abstract

A review of the Baikal-GVD neutrino telescope status after the winter 2024 deployment campaign that results in 4 104 opticalmodules installed on 114 vertical strings is presented. The results of analysis of Baikal-GVD data collected in 2018-2023 show the presence of cosmic neutrino flux in high-energy cascade channel consistent with observations by the IceCube neutrino telescope. Track-like events analysis results in identification of first high-energy muon neutrino candidates.
