The Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment

Every time researchers have pushed the energy boundary in particle physics we have found something new about our Universe. Recently, IceCube has demonstrated that Neutrino Telescopes can use neutrinos from the cosmos as excellent tools to continue this exploration. To unlock the true potential of this field, advanced detectors are needed that will push the forefront of the cosmic frontier, revealing new knowledge of extreme astrophysical phenomena, including through multi-messenger follow-up programs, and testing fundamental physics at scales well beyond those reachable by Earth-bound accelerators. We aim to construct one of the largest neutrino telescopes deep in the northern Pacific Ocean off the coast of British Columbia, the Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment (P-ONE). The first detector line is planned to be deployed this year - marking the start of an exciting phase for this new project. In this talk I will cover results from early pathfinder missions and discuss the status of P-ONE.
