Description
The TRopIcal DEep-sea Neutrino Telescope (TRIDENT) will instrument about 8km^3 of seawater with optical detection modules approximately 3.5km deep in the South China Sea. With the use of advanced photon-detection technology in large dimensions, TRIDENT expects to observe the IceCube steady source candidate NGC 1068 within one year of operation. This telescope will open a new domain searching for the origin of cosmic rays and probing the frontier of the fundamental physics over astronomical baselines. In addition, neutrino telescopes like TRIDENT have unique potentials in BSM physics searches, this talk will review several BSM searches and provide a few highlights.
