Description
P-ONE, or the Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment, is a future neutrino telescope to be operative in the northern hemisphere. It will be a multi-cubic kilometre detector offshore of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and will utilize the world-leading infrastructure of Ocean Networks Canada. The first full line is set to be deployed by spring 2025 and will be followed by the demonstrator phase the subsequent year. The full detector is planned to be operative by the end of the decade and will be joining the newly constructed neutrino telescopes scattered across the world, pushing us into a new era of high-energy neutrino astronomy. In this talk we present the current status of the experiment and its expected performance, along with sensitivity studies focusing on the galactic centre and other discovery opportunities.
