Recent observations of the Galactic component of the high-energy neutrino flux, together with the detection of the diffuse Galactic gamma-ray emission up to sub-PeV energies, open new possibilities to study the acceleration and propagation of cosmic rays in the Milky Way. At the same time, both large non-astrophysical backgrounds at TeV energies and scarcity of neutrino events in the sub-PeV band currently limit these analyses. Here we use the sample of cascade events with estimated neutrino energies above 200 TeV, detected by the partially deployed Baikal Gigaton Volume Detector (GVD) in six years of operation, to test the continuation of the Galactic neutrino spectrum to sub-PeV energies. We find that the distribution of the arrival directions of Baikal-GVD cascades above 200 TeV in the sky suggests an excess of neutrinos from low Galactic latitudes with the chance probability of 1.4e-2. We find the excess above 200 TeV also in the most recent IceCube public data sets, both of cascades and tracks. The chance probability of the excess in the combined IceCube and Baikal-GVD analysis is 3.4e-4. The flux of Galactic neutrinos above 200~TeV challenges often-used templates for neutrino search based on cosmic-ray simulations.

  1. Diffuse gamma-ray and neutrino emission from the Milky Way and the local knee in the cosmic ray spectrum

    astro-ph.HE 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Diffuse gamma-ray predictions from locally measured cosmic rays exceed LHAASO observations above 100 TeV, suggesting the PeV cosmic-ray knee originates from a local bubble roughly 0.7 to 1.5 kpc across.

  2. Leptonic and hadronic models of high-energy nebula around V4641 Sgr

    astro-ph.HE 2025-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Protons produce the >100 TeV gamma-ray halo of V4641 Sgr while freshly accelerated electrons produce its X-rays, a mixed leptohadronic model that matches the observed spectrum and morphology.

  3. Lepton interactions from GeV to EeV

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Phenomenological study predicting incomplete tau polarization at FASER2, observable neutrino and muon trident processes, and contributions to hadron structure from IceCube neutrino events.
