Abstract

The Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment (P-ONE) is a proposed neutrino telescope that will explore the deepest reaches of the universe through cosmic neutrinos. Located 2600 meters below sea-level in the Cascadia Basin off the coast of Vancouver, Canada, the detector will utilise Cherenkov radiation from secondary particles emitted by high energy neutrino interactions as a means of detection. These emissions are digitized by optical modules lining the vertically deployed strings. Accordingly, the accuracy of detection will directly correlate with the understanding of the medium, and the locations of the optical modules. The ocean currents present a hurdle in this respect. A common tracking method is utilising acoustic detectors and emitters in a methodology known as trilateration. The acoustic modules will use piezoelectric disks to detect the vibrations produced by acoustic beacons for this calibration process. P-ONE will be designed with these additional acoustic detectors for tracking, and will be tested with Ocean Networks Canada’s Marine Test Facility. In this contribution we will cover the simulated performance of the acoustic trilateration and the status of the P-ONE Acoustic Calibration System.
