New Results and Future of the BAIKAL Neutrino Detector — •Ralf Wischnewski and Christian Spiering — DESY, Platanenallee 6, 15738 Zeuthen

We present the status of the Baikal Neutrino Experiment, the only High Energy Neutrino Telescope currently operating in the Northern hemisphere. On April 9th, 2005, the 10 Mton scale detector NT200+ was put into operation in Lake Baikal. We describe design and physics potential of this detector. Selected results obtained during 1998-2002 with the neutrino telescope NT200 are presented. The upper limit obtained for a diffuse (νeµτ) flux with E−2 shape is E2 Φ = 8.1 × 10−7cm−2s−1sr−1GeV. The three-year sensitivity of NT200+ to the all-flavor neutrino flux is 2×10−7cm−2s−1sr−1GeV for E>102 TeV, identical to the preliminary limit from four years of Amanda data. The limits obtained for fast magnetic monopoles and an astrophysical ν_e flux at 6.3 PeV (W-resonance energy) are presently the most stringent ones.
