Descripción

The Baikal-GVD detector currently consists of 2016 optical modules arranged on 56 vertical strings in a water volume of 0.35 km$^3$. The data from the partially complete array have been analyzed using a $\chi^2$-based track reconstruction algorithm. After a zenith angle cut and other background suppression cuts, a sample of upgoing neutrino candidate events is obtained. The analysis is optimized for the detection of muon neutrinos and muon anti-neutrinos in the multi-TeV energy regime. The observed characteristics of the neutrino candidate sample are compared with Monte Carlo predictions for the atmospheric neutrinos.
