The deployment of the Baikal-GVD deep underwater neutrino telescope is in progress now. About 3500 deep underwater photodetectors (optical modules) arranged into 12 clusters are operating in Lake Baikal. For increasing the efficiency of cascade-like neutrino event detection, the telescope deployment scheme was slightly changed. Namely, the inter-cluster distance was reduced for the newly deployed clusters and additional string of optical modules are added between the clusters. The first inter-cluster string was installed in 2022 and two such strings were installed in 2023. This paper presents a Monte Carlo estimate of the impact of these configuration changes on the cascade detection efficiency as well as technical implementation and results of in-situ tests of the inter-cluster strings.

“…It was followed by the BAIKAL detector in the water of Lake Baikal [11], the AMANDA detector deployed in the glacial ice at the South Pole [12] and the ANTARES detector in the Mediterranean Sea [13]. Based on the success of these projects the larger IceCube detector was built at the South Pole [14], KM3NeT is being built in the Mediterranean Sea [15] and Baikal GVD is under construction in Lake Baikal [16].…”

“…In lake Baikal the new detector Baikal GVD (Gigaton Volume Detector) [16] aiming at the 1 TeV to 10 6 TeV neutrino energy regime, is in the first phase of construction with two out of the planned 8 clusters of strings being deployed. The first phase will cover a volume of 0.4 km 3 , the final size with 27 clusters should reach a volume of 1.5 km 3 .…”
