The Prototyping phase of the BAIKAL-GVD project has been started in April 2011 with the deployment of a three string engineering array which comprises all basic elements and systems of the Gigaton Volume Detector (GVD) in Lake Baikal. In April 2012 the version of engineering array which comprises the first full-scale string of the GVD demonstration cluster has been deployed and operated during 2012. The first stage of the GVD demonstration cluster which consists of three strings is deployed in April 2013. We review the Prototyping phase of the BAIKAL-GVD project and describe the configuration and design of the 2013 engineering array.

a b s t r a c tThe construction of a km 3 -scale neutrino telescope -the Gigaton Volume Detector (GVD) in Lake Baikal -is the central goal of the Baikal collaboration. During the R&D phase of the GVD project in 2008-2010 years the basic elements of GVD -new optical modules, FADC readout units, underwater communications and trigger systems -have been developed, produced and tested in situ by long-term operating prototype strings in Lake Baikal. The prototyping phase of the GVD project has been started in April 2011 with the installation of a three string array (prototype cluster) which comprises all basic elements and systems of the GVD-telescope in Lake Baikal. We describe configuration and technical design of the GVD, present selected results obtained during 2008-2010 with prototype strings, and describe configuration and design of the 2011 prototype cluster.

“…The construction of NT200þ was a first step towards a km 3 -scale neutrino telescope. The important km 3 -milestones were the construction and installation of prototype strings in 2009-2010 [1,10] and a prototype GVD cluster, comprising three strings, in 2011. The basic goals of the prototype array installation are investigation and in situ test of basic elements of the future detector.…”
