Recommendable! An update on the hunt for neutrinos especially the high-energy cosmic neutrino!
Wow, this will be a huge detector!
"... The instruments in the Pacific Ocean are some of the first steps toward a proposed experiment called the Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment, or P-ONE, which scientists hope will help them uncover cosmic neutrino origins. ...
new large-scale P-ONE experiment. With a goal of building hundreds of neutrino detectors along several 1-kilometer-long lines, the experiment is intended to complement IceCube. From its location in the northeast Pacific, P-ONE could grab neutrinos from different parts of the universe that IceCube can’t see. ...

In 2018, the project scientists deployed STRAW-a, an instrument cluster designed to test the suitability of the site for the P-ONE experiment. Along with STRAW-b, which finished testing in 2021, the pathfinder mission proved the location’s clear waters would make a good canvas for neutrino detection. Now, the scientists are preparing for the next stage: installing a prototype instrument, planned for spring of 2024.
The prototype phase will see at least three lines, each with 20 detectors, installed on the ocean floor. This should allow scientists to capture 30 or so atmospheric neutrinos—enough to calibrate and provide proof-of-concept. If all goes well, P-ONE will eventually consist of 70 1,000-meter-long lines spread over a square kilometer of ocean. ..."
