The Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment, or P-ONE, is a proposed
neutrino observatory using an area of the north-eastern
Pacific Ocean
The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of Earth's five Borders of the oceans, oceanic divisions. It extends from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Southern Ocean, or, depending on the definition, to Antarctica in the south, and is ...

A neutrino ( ; denoted by the Greek letter ) is an elementary particle that interacts via the weak interaction and gravity. The neutrino is so named because it is electrically neutral and because its rest mass is so small ('' -ino'') that i ...
s for study and experimentation.
The proposal involves building a multi-cubic-kilometer neutrino telescope at
Ocean Networks Canada's Cascadia Basin site in the North East Pacific Time-series Underwater Networked Experiment (NEPTUNE) coastal network.
Although a considerable number of neutrinos are produced in the universe, they are emitted at a considerably low flux, and therefore require a large detection array for their capture.
