Description
The Baikal Neutrino Telescope has been operating in its NT200 configuration since April, 1998. The telescope has been upgraded in April, 2005 to the 10Mton scale detector NT200+. It's main physics goal is the detection of signals from high energy neutrino cascades. NT200+ reaches a 3-year sensitivity of 2x10-7cm-2s-1sr-1GeV for an all-flavor diffuse cosmic E-2 neutrino flux for energies 102TeV-105TeV. Design and sensitivity of NT200+ are described. NT200+ is forming the basic building block of a future km3-scale (gigaton-volume) Baikal Telescope. Research and development work on that next stage detector has started
