Zou (IHEP), Y. J. Jin, Z. Zhang (THU), T. P. Li (IHEP/THU), F. J. Lu, L. M. Song, M. Wu, Y. P. Xu, S. N. Zhang (IHEP), report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team: Insight-HXMT was taking data normally around the trigger time (T0=2020-12-21T12:36:53.00 UTC) of this high-energy neutrino event (GCN #29102), which was monitored by Insight-HXMT without any occultation by the Earth. There is no significant excess event (SNR > 3 sigma) found in the search of the Insight-HXMT/HE raw light curve (within T0 +/- 100 s). Assuming the counterpart GRB with three typical GRB Band spectral models, two typical duration timescales(1 s, 10 s) coming from the position of this neutrino event, the 5-sigma upper-limits fluence (0.2 - 5 MeV, incident energy) are reported below: Band model 1 (alpha=-1.9, beta=-3.7, Ep=70 keV): 1s: 3.9e-08 erg cm^-2 10s: 2.4-07 erg cm^-2 Band model 2 (alpha=-1.0, beta=-2.3, Ep=230 keV): 1s: 6.8e-08 erg cm^-2 10s: 3.6e-07 erg cm^-2 Band model 3 (alpha=-0.0, beta=-1.5, Ep=1000 keV): 1s: 2.0e-07 erg cm^-2 10s: 1.1e-06 erg cm^-2 Further analysis will be reported in the following circulars. All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the regular mode with the energy range of about 80-800 keV (record energy). Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside of the telescope. Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was funded jointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
