The Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment

Exploring the Universe from the bottom of the Ocean

The Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment (P-ONE) is a proposed large-volume neutrino telescope in the Northeast Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Vancouver Island, Canada. Building upon the optical deep-sea data and communications network operated by Ocean Networks Canada, an international collaboration of researchers plans to instrument more than one cubic kilometer of deep-sea volume. P-ONE will target measuring high-energy neutrinos to shed light on the cosmos and the nature of black holes, supernova outbursts, and other cosmic particle accelerator events. The detector will utilize Cherenkov radiation from secondary particles emitted by high-energy neutrino interactions as a means of detection. In 2025, the first detection line of P-ONE will be deployed.
