The Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment: the prototype line — Elisa Resconi and •Christian Spannfellner — Technische Universität München
The Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment (P-ONE) is a Canadian/German initiative, which aims to construct a new large volume astrophysical neutrino detector in the Northeast Pacific Ocean. P-ONE strives to complement the sky coverage of the existing or under development neutrino telescopes, as such it will be part of the NEPTUNE observatory, established by Oceans Networks Canada (ONC). This deepsea infrastructure provides power and data streams for various experiments. At the Cascadia Basin node, which will host P-ONE, two pathfinders were already initiated to characterize the site. The P-ONE prototype line, currently in its early concept phase, is planned as the successor of the pathfinders and will be the first installment of the P-ONE detector. The line will be comprised of P-ONE Digital Optical Receivers (P-DOR) to detect the emerging Cherenkov radiation and P-ONE Calibration Modules (P-CAL) to provide in-situ calibration. We will present the concepts of the planned optical sensors and calibration modules and give an outlook on the entire mooring.
