NuBench: An Open Benchmark for Deep Learning-Based Event Reconstruction in Neutrino Telescopes

  • 基于六种探测器构型生成1.3亿条模拟事件数据

  • 支持水与冰环境对比,适合中微子物理与机器学习交叉研究

中微子望远镜是大型探测装置,用于观测水中或冰中中微子相互作用产生的切伦科夫辐射。其目标是识别来自宇宙的中微子源,并探究中微子本身的本质。这类探测器面临的核心挑战是求解一系列逆问题——事件重建,即根据探测到的切伦科夫光信息推断入射中微子的性质。近年来,深度学习技术被广泛应用于事件重建,相比传统方法具有显著优势。然而,由于缺乏多样化的开源数据集,不同实验间的协作受到阻碍。本文提出NuBench,一个面向中微子望远镜深度学习事件重建的开源基准。NuBench包含七个大规模模拟数据集,涵盖近1.3亿个带电与中性流μ中微子相互作用事件,能量范围从10 GeV至100 TeV,覆盖六种探测器几何构型,分别对应现有及未来实验。数据提供脉冲级与事件级信息,适用于水与冰环境中机器学习重建方法的开发与评估。利用NuBench,我们对四种算法(ParticleNeT、DynEdge、GRIT、DeepIce)在五项核心任务上的表现进行了评估:能量与方向重建、拓扑分类、相互作用顶点预测和非弹性度估计。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Neutrino telescopes are large-scale detectors designed to observe Cherenkov radiation produced from neutrino interactions in water or ice. They exist to identify extraterrestrial neutrino sources and to probe fundamental questions pertaining to the elusive neutrino itself. A central challenge common across neutrino telescopes is to solve a series of inverse problems known as event reconstruction, which seeks to resolve properties of the incident neutrino, based on the detected Cherenkov light. In recent times, significant efforts have been made in adapting advances from deep learning research to event reconstruction, as such techniques provide several benefits over traditional methods. While a large degree of similarity in reconstruction needs and low-level data exists, cross-experimental collaboration has been hindered by a lack of diverse open-source datasets for comparing methods. We present NuBench, an open benchmark for deep learning-based event reconstruction in neutrino telescopes. NuBench comprises seven large-scale simulated datasets containing nearly 130 million charged- and neutral-current muon-neutrino interactions spanning 10 GeV to 100 TeV, generated across six detector geometries inspired by existing and proposed experiments. These datasets provide pulse- and event-level information suitable for developing and comparing machine-learning reconstruction methods in both water and ice environments. Using NuBench, we evaluate four reconstruction algorithms - ParticleNeT and DynEdge, both actively used within the KM3NeT and IceCube collaborations, respectively, along with GRIT and DeepIce - on up to five core tasks: energy and direction reconstruction, topology classification, interaction vertex prediction, and inelasticity estimation.
