New machine-learning method improves IceCube’s estimation of neutrino direction

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a cubic-kilometer array of optical sensors buried in Antarctic ice, detects elusive subatomic particles called neutrinos. When a neutrino interacts with a molecule of ice, it produces secondary particles that emit blue light, which is then detected by IceCube. Known as an “event,” its signals or light patterns are used to [...] Read More »
