** Abstracts:
P-ONE (the Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment) is a future cubic-kilometer-scale water-Cherenkov neutrino telescope to be deployed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Canada. The experiment will make significant contributions to the search for astrophysical neutrino sources, while also enabling the development and validation of improved detection and calibration techniques and supporting valuable oceanographic measurements.
In this talk, I will first discuss the challenges posed by the deep-sea environment, focusing on engineering constraints, environmental backgrounds, and the calibration strategies required to achieve excellent timing and angular resolution. I will then present the current status of the assembly of the first detector phase, P-ONE-1, including the production and testing of the optical modules, as well as calibration studies performed on a subset of the photosensors.
