Constraints on the diffuse flux of multi-PeV astrophysical neutrinos obtained with the Baikal Gigaton Volume Detector
Annotatsiya
Various theoretical models predict cosmic neutrinos with multi-PeV energies. The recent detection of a $\ensuremath{\sim}{10}^{17}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{eV}$ neutrino in the KM3NeT experiment suggests that these energetic particles can be studied with present-day installations. Here, we present upper limits on the flux of astrophysical neutrinos with energies $({10}^{15.5}--{10}^{20})\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{eV}$ obtained with the largest liquid-water neutrino telescope, the Baikal Gigaton Volume Detector (GVD), operation using cascadelike events. We discuss astrophysical implications of these results and constrain several cosmogenic neutrino scenarios using a combination of Baikal-GVD, KM3NeT, IceCube, and Auger data.
