Air showers in a three dimensional array: Recent data from IceCube/IceTop
- 1. Bartol Research Institute and Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Delaware, Newark, DE 19716 (United States)
Description
The next generation high energy neutrino and cosmic ray array IceCube/IceTop is under construction at the geographic South-Pole. Air showers with trajectories that pass through the surface array and near the deep strings trigger both components in coincidence. The ratio of the muon signal in the deep detectors to the shower signal on the surface is sensitive to the elemental composition of the primary cosmic radiation
