Data visualization web service being developed at MLIT was presented at Baikal-GVD collaboration meeting MLIT trainee researcher Dmitrii Shpotya delivered a talk at the latest Baikal-GVD collaboration meeting. The event took place on 1– 5 June 2026 at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in a hybrid format. The participants discussed the status of the Deep Underwater Baikal Neutrino Telescope project and summarized the 2026 winter Baikal expedition results. Dmitrii Shpotya presented a prototype of a data visualization web service for the Baikal-GVD experiment. The service integrates tools for viewing session information and monitoring the noise count rates of optical modules. The service’s architecture, its current capabilities, and further plans for enhancing it for use by duty shifts and experts were considered. Over 50 specialists participated in the meeting. The five-day program included 40 scientific talks on a wide variety of topics, with a focus on the latest results of the winter expedition, a key result of which was the installation of two new clusters of the Baikal Neutrino Telescope, as well as on data analysis, modeling program updates, and the collaboration’s plans. Significant progress in the development of a new-generation telescope, HUNT, was also highlighted. This initiative has already been supported by the Russian Academy of Sciences and Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education. Background information The Baikal Neutrino Telescope (Baikal-GVD) is a neutrino detector located in Lake Baikal at a distance of 3.6 km from the shore and a depth of about 1300 m. It is the largest neutrino telescope in the Northern Hemisphere and the second largest in the world. This unique scientific facility is an important tool for multi-channel astronomy, a new method of exploring the universe. Baikal-GVD is one of the three operating large-scale neutrino telescopes in the world. Along with IceCube at the South Pole and KM3NeT in the Mediterranean Sea, it is part of the Global Neutrino Network (GNN). The telescope is designed for the detection and study of ultrahigh-energy neutrino fluxes from astrophysical sources. Using it, scientists are going to study not only processes with huge energy release that happened in the distant past, but also galaxy evolution, the formation of supermassive black holes, and particle acceleration mechanisms. Baikal–GVD is being constructed by an international collaboration with a leading role of the RAS Institute for Nuclear Research and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. In total, more than 70 scientists and engineers from nine research centers of Russia, Kazakhstan, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic are participating in the project.
