Description
The Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment (P-ONE) is a new large-volume neutrino telescope planned for installation in the Pacific Ocean off the West Coast of Canada. In the ocean, ever-changing conditions necessitate precise calibration systems to continuously monitor the detector. Primarily, ocean currents will sway the one-km-tall mooring lines over time, and detector positioning is crucial for maintaining accurate neutrino pointing performance. The acoustic system of P-ONE will comprise multiple piezo-acoustic receivers in every detector module, combined with autonomous and cabled acoustic seafloor infrastructure. Geometry calibration with this system is performed by monitoring the time-of-flight between acoustic emitters and receivers and then multi-laterating the receiver positions. The P-ONE array of acoustic sensors and the need for acoustic ray-tracing simulations also open the opportunity to search for more exotic acoustic signatures, for example, thermo-acoustic pulses induced by ultra-high-energy (UHE) neutrino interactions. In this talk, I will present the architecture and performance of the P-ONE acoustic system and discuss how one can use acoustics beyond calibration and for the future detection of UHE neutrinos.
