Description
The Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment (P-ONE) is a future-generation underwater Cherenkov detector that aims to detect high-energy astrophysical neutrinos. Planned to be deployed off the west coast of Vancouver Island, Canada. The deployment is being facilitated and maintained by the existing oceanic infrastructure of opto-electric cables at the Cascadian Basin of the Pacific Ocean, operated by Oceans Network Canada (ONC). Currently, being in the exciting phase where the first detector string of the experiment, P-ONE-1, is planned for deployment in summer 2026, the work mostly focused on integration and rigorous testing before deployment. This talk will provide a brief overview of the experiment, the construction and deployment of the first detector line, and the expected performance.
