The current status of the experiment on recording neutrino bursts from core collapse stars is presented. The actual observational time T (from June 30, 1980 until December 31, 2009) is 25.58 years. An upper bound of the mean frequency of gravitational collapse in our Galaxy fcol < 0.090 year−1 at a 90% confidence level. The results of studying single events at the facility in the case of muon inelastic interaction of cosmic rays with the matter of the detector are presented.

The state of the art and the project of modernization of the extensive-air-shower array Carpet-2 of the Baksan Neutrino Observatory of the Institute for Nuclear Research, Russian Academy of Sciences are described. The modernized array will allow the performance of detailed study of variations in the cosmic ray intensity, the energy spectra and composition of primary cosmic rays in the energy range 1013–1016 eV, and the anisotropy of primary cosmic rays with energies above 1013 eV.

Temporal and energy characteristics of the very-high-energy gamma-ray bursts from evaporating primordial black holes have been calculated by assuming that the photospheric and chromospheric effects are negligible. The technique of searching for such bursts on shower arrays is described. We show that the burst time profile and the array dead time should be taken into account to interpret experimental data. Based on data from the Andyrchy array of the Baksan Neutrino Observatory (Institute for Nuclear Research, Russian Academy of Sciences), we have obtained an upper limit on the number density of evaporating primordial black holes in a local region of space with a scale size of ∼10−3 pc. Comparison with the results of previous experiments is made.

The Andyrchy facility was created for studying the energy spectrum and nuclear composition of primary cosmic rays in the region of a knee in the cosmic-ray spectrum. The position of this facility above the Baksan underground scintillation telescope allows simultaneous detection of electron-photon and high-energy muon components of extensive air showers. The parameters of this facility also allow it to be used for solving a number of other problems of cosmic-ray physics. Data since 1996 have been collected for several physical problems. The facility is described, and its performance characteristics are presented.

The energy spectra and temporal characteristics of high-energy gamma-ray bursts from evaporating primordial black holes have been calculated using various evaporation models. The currently existing theoretical uncertainties in the shape of the evaporated photon spectrum are discussed. The data from the Andyrchy and Carpet-2 arrays of the Baksan Neutrino Observatory (Institute for Nuclear Research, Russian Academy of Sciences) obtained in the mode of detection of a single cosmic-ray component are used to search for cosmic gamma-ray bursts with a primary photon energy of about 8 GeV. New upper limits have been obtained for the number density of evaporating black holes in a local region of space with a characteristic size of ∼10−3 pc for various evaporation models.

A prototype of the PRISMA project array has been deployed and started running on the basis of the NEVOD complex at National Research Nuclear University MEPhI. It consists now of 32 detectors of a novel type (en-detector) sensitive to two main EAS components: electromagnetic (e) and hadronic (through thermal neutrons (n)) ones. The purpose of the array is testing and developing of a new experimental method of EAS study through neutron and electromagnetic components recording, optimization of the detector design and the data acquisition system. First experimental results are presented and compared with first Monte-Carlo simulations.

The prototype of a novel type EAS (extensive air shower) recording and investigation array (the PRISMA project) is created on the basis of the NEVOD experimental complex through cooperation between Institute for Nuclear Research, Russian Academy of Sciences, and the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI. The prototype (ProtoPRISMA) consists of thirty-two en-detectors sensitive to EAS electromagnetic (e) and hadronic (via the registration of thermal neutrons) (n) components. The array is designed to develop and to test a new method of EAS investigation using neutron and electromagnetic components and to obtain preliminary data on the spectrum and composition of cosmic rays.

A novel method for studying the hadronic component of extensive air showers (EAS) is proposed. The method is based on recording thermal neutrons accompanying EAS with en-detectors that are sensitive to two EAS components: an electromagnetic (e) component and a hadron component in the form of neutrons (n). In contrast to hadron calorimeters used in some arrays, the proposed method makes it possible to record the hadronic component over the whole area of the array. The efficiency of a prototype array that consists of 32 en-detectors was tested for a long time, and some parameters of the neutron EAS component were determined.

An innovative method for studying the properties of extensive air showers (EASes) that is based on the detection of thermal neutrons generated by high energy hadrons under a soil absorber of 500 g cm−2 is proposed and tested. It is shown that underground hadronic calorimeter can be performed with special scintillation detectors developed by the authors. The method could be quite useful in gamma shower selection and investigations of EAS properties, primary cosmic ray mass composition, EAS core location, and so on.
