Abstract

The currently running NT200 and NT200+ Baikal neutrino telescopes and the prospects for development of the Baikal Neutrino Project are briefly descr⇊ed. Preliminary results of the search for neutrino events correlated with cosmological gamma-ray bursts at the NT200 are presented. The feasibility of developing a method for acoustic detection of ultrahigh-energy neutrinos in the Baikal Neutrino Project is discussed. The calculation results for the energy spectrum and zenith-angle distributions of atmospheric neutrinos in the energy range from 10 to 10 7 GeV obtained within various high-energy hadron-nucleus interaction models are presented.
