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, indicat ing 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 correspond s 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 const ruction. We present here preliminary results of a search for high-energy neutrinos with GVD in 2019-2020.
