The Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment

An Author Correction to this article was published on 17 September 2020

This article has been updated

The Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment is a new initiative towards constructing a multi-cubic-kilometre neutrino telescope to expand our observable window of the Universe to the highest energies, and will be installed within the deep Pacific Ocean underwater infrastructure of Ocean Networks Canada.
