Baikal-GVD is a next generation, kilometer-scale neutrino telescope under construction in Lake Baikal. It is designed to detect astrophysical neutrino fluxes at energies from a few TeV up to 100 PeV. GVD is formed by multi-megaton subarrays (clusters). The array construction was started in 2015 by deployment of a reduced-size demonstration cluster named "Dubna" . The first cluster in it's baseline configuration was deployed in 2016, the second in 2017 and the third in 2018. The full-scale GVD will be an array of ∼10.000 light sensors with an instrumented volume about of 2 cubic km. The first phase (GVD-1) is planned to be completed by 2020-2021. It will comprise 8 clusters with 2304 light sensors in total. We describe the design of Baikal-GVD and present selected results obtained in 2015 -2017.

“…The waveform information from all measuring channels of the section is transferred to the Master board located in the CeM. The Master board provides the readout of the ADC data, the connection via local Ethernet to the cluster DAQ-center, the control of the section operation and the section trigger logic [11]. A request of the section trigger is transferred from the Master board to the cluster DAQ-center, where a global trigger for all sections is generated.…”

Abstract. The neutrino telescope Baikal-GVD in Lake Baikal will be a research infrastructure aimed mainly at studying astrophysical neutrino fluxes. The telescope will consist of clusters of strings -functionally independent sub-arrays. The deployment of the first demonstration cluster has been started in April 2013. In 2014 the deployment of the second stage of the demonstration cluster has been performed. We describe the configuration and design of the first GVD cluster and review the current status of cluster deployment in Lake Baikal.

“…The OMs along a string are combined in sections -the functional detection unit of the telescope [10]. Each section includes 12 OMs and the central module (CeM).…”

Abstract. The future next-generation neutrino telescope Baikal-GVD will be a km3-scale array aimed at the detection of astrophysical neutrino fluxes. It will have modular structure and consist of functionally independent sub-arrays -clusters of strings of optical modules. The prototyping phase of the project has been concluded in 2015 with the deployment of the first cluster of Baikal-GVD in Lake Baikal. We discuss the current status and perspectives of the Baikal-GVD project.
