Strings for absorption length in water — Michael Böhmer, Christian Fruck, •Andreas Gärtner, Roman Gernhäuser, Felix Henningsen, Simon Hiller, Kilian Holzapfel, Klaus Leismüller, Laszlo Papp, Immacolata Rea, and Christian Spannfellner — Technische Universität München

Large scale neutrino telescopes such as IceCube, Antares and GVD have shown their scientific potential on numerous occasions in the past. Due to their size of up to cubic kilometers and their location deep below the surface of water or ice, any new installation poses a large challenge on materials and infrastructure. Ocean Networks Canada potentially provides the necessary infrastructure for numerous scientific experiments at the seabed of the Cascadia Basin off the coast of Vancouver Island. The "Strings for absorption length in water" (STRAW) project will deploy two 140m strings with optical pulsers and sensors for measuring the relevant water properties (absorption, scattering, radioactivity and bioluminescence) for a large scale detector at this site and assessing its feasibility. This talk will give a brief overview of the site and the general concept of the STRAW project.
