We present the results of a new analysis of data taken in 1998-2002 for a search for high-energy extraterrestrial neutrinos. The analysis is based on a full reconstruction of high-energy cascade parameters: vertex coordinates, energy and arrival direction. Upper limits on the diffuse fluxes of all neutrino flavors, predicted by several models of AGN-like neutrino sources are derived. For an ${bf E^{-2}}$ behavior of the neutrino spectrum, our limit is ${bf E^{2} F_{ u}(E) < 2.9 times 10^{-7}}$ cm${bf ^{-2}}$ s${bf ^{-1}}$ sr${bf ^{-1}}$ GeV over a neutrino energy range ${bf 2 times 10^4 div 2 times 10^7}$ GeV. This limit is by a factor of 2.8 more stringent than a limit obtained with a previous analysis.

We present the results of a search for high energy extraterrestrial neutrinos with the Baikal underwater Cherenkov detector NT200, based on data taken in 1998 - 2002. Upper limits on the diffuse fluxes of $ u_e+ u_{mu}+ u_{tau}$, predicted by several models of AGN-like neutrino sources, are derived. For an $E^{-2}$ behavior of the neutrino spectrum, our limit is $E^2 Phi_{ u}(E)<8.1 10^{-7} cm^{-2} s^{-1} sr^{-1} GeV$ over an neutrino energy range $2 10^4 - 5 10^7 GeV$. The upper limit on the resonant $bar{ u}_e$ diffuse flux is $Phi_{bar{ u}_e}< 3.3 10^{-20} cm^{-2} s^{-1} sr^{-1} GeV^{-1}$.
The Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo observatories recently discovered gravitational waves from a binary neutron star inspiral. A short gamma-ray burst (GRB) that followed the merger of this binary was also recorded by Fermi-GBM and INTEGRAL, indicating particle acceleration by the source. The precise location of the event was determined by optical detections of emission following the merger. We searched for high-energy neutrinos from the merger in the TeV - 100 PeV energy range using Baikal-GVD. No neutrinos directionally coincident with the source were detected within $pm$500 s around the merger time, as well as during a 14-day period after the GW detection. We derived 90% confidence level upper limits on the neutrino fluence from GW170817 during a $pm$500 s window centered on the GW trigger time, and a 14-day window following the GW signal under the assumption of an $E^{-2}$ neutrino energy spectrum.
We present the results of a search for high energy neutrinos with the Baikal underwater Cherenkov detector {it NT-200.} An upper limit on the ($ u_e+tilde{ u_e}$) diffuse flux of $E^2 Phi_{ u}(E)<(1.3 div 1.9)cdot 10^{-6} {cm}^{-2} {s}^{-1} {sr}^{-1} {GeV}$ within a neutrino energy range $10^4 div 10^7 {GeV}$ is obtained, assuming an $E^{-2}$ behaviour of the neutrino spectrum and flavor ratio $( u_e+tilde{ u_e}):( u_{mu}+tilde{ u_{mu}})$=1:2.
A search for a diffuse flux of astrophysical muon neutrinos, using data collected by the ANTARES neutrino telescope is presented. A $(0.83times 2pi)$ sr sky was monitored for a total of 334 days of equivalent live time. The searched signal corresponds to an excess of events, produced by astrophysical sources, over the expected atmospheric neutrino background. The observed number of events is found compatible with the background expectation. Assuming an $E^{-2}$ flux spectrum, a 90% c.l. upper limit on the diffuse $ u_mu$ flux of $E^2Phi_{90%} = 5.3 times 10^{-8} mathrm{GeV cm^{-2} s^{-1} sr^{-1}} $ in the energy range 20 TeV - 2.5 PeV is obtained. Other signal models with different energy spectra are also tested and some rejected.
Baikal-GVD is a neutrino telescope currently under construction in Lake Baikal. GVD is formed by multi-meganton subarrays (clusters). The design of Baikal-GVD allows one to search for astrophysical neutrinos already at early phases of the array construction. We present here preliminary results of a search for high-energy neutrinos with GVD in 2019-2020.
