Scientific paper

The Large Volume Detector (LVD) in the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory, Italy, is a neutrino observatory mainly devoted to detect low energy ν from gravitational collapses of galactic objects. The experiment, which at the present time has an active mass M = 1000 tons, has been taking data, under ever increasing mass configurations, since 1992, with a sensitivity high enough to cover the Galaxy. Results of the monitoring, based on ever larger statistics, have already been reported: no candidates for supernova ν bursts have been found. We update here the analysis up to December 2000, presenting the results of the search based on the sets of data taken in 1999 and 2000 (592 days of live-time). The new upper limit (based on 2691 days of observation) on the rate of stellar collapses in the Milky Way is 0.3 event per year.
