What is a Neutrino Event?

\n

A neutrino event is a burst of neutrinos. Sometimes these neutrino events have low energy and are produced in Earth's atmosphere.

\n

However, other times neutrino events are high-energy events which are produced by astronomical objects commonly studied in high energy astronomy such as neutron stars, supernova remnants, and gamma ray bursts.

High energy neutrinos produce a zoo of charged particles when they interact with the ice. These particles produce an explosion of light and IceCube captures it with its DOM sensors.

In this competition, we want to predict the direction of these neutrino events, which are represented by the red lines in the above videos. Specifically, we need to predict these lines angles, the azimuth and zenith angle. By doing so astronomers may be able to:
