Detector Modules (IMAGE)
Caption
Three of ten detector modules of the STRAW-b pathfinder experiment exploring the Cascadia Basin in the Pacific Ocean in preparation for the planned P-ONE neutrino telescope. Modules will be suspended from a 500-meter-long steel cable that will be anchored on the seabed at a depth of 2,660 meters end of September 2020. They contain sensors that will measure temperatures, currents and bioluminescence in the deep sea, among other things. A special feature of the modules: They contain works of art by young international artists who create a connection between the earth and the deep sea and thus turn the pathfinder experiment into a unique underwater exhibition.
