Description
TRIDENT (海铃) is a next-generation deep-sea neutrino telescope currently under development in the South China Sea, aiming to investigate the high-energy Universe through the observation of astrophysical neutrinos. By instrumenting a multi-cubic-kilometre volume of seawater with advanced optical sensors with high photon detection efficiency and precise timing capabilities, TRIDENT is designed to achieve precise directional reconstruction together with efficient all-flavour neutrino detection across a broad energy range. The experiment will enable sensitive searches for astrophysical neutrino sources, studies of cosmic-ray acceleration mechanisms, and probes of neutrino properties and physics beyond the Standard Model. In recent years, the collaboration has made substantial progress in detector design, hardware development, simulation and reconstruction studies, and deep-sea site characterization, alongside preparations for the first in-situ detector deployments and the development of a broad neutrino and multi-messenger physics program. These efforts have established the scientific potential of the experiment and informed the staged realization strategy toward a future large-scale observatory. This talk will present an overview of the TRIDENT experiment's physics objectives, the detector concept and current status, including recent advances in detector R&D and deployment preparations. Together, these developments position TRIDENT to play an important role in the next generation of neutrino astronomy and multi-messenger astrophysics.
