38th International Cosmic Ray Conference, ICRC2023, Nagoya, Japan, 26 Jul 2023 - 3 Aug 2023; Proceedings of Science / International School for Advanced Studies (ICRC2023), 259 (2023). doi:10.22323/1.444.0259 ... : The Radio Neutrino Observatory – Greenland (RNO-G) is an in-iceneutrino detector currently under construction. The detector is designed to make the first measurement of neutrinos beyond energies of $\sim$10 PeV.Each of the planned 35 stations of the detector includes threelog-periodic dipole array antennas (LPDA) pointing towards the sky. The stations cover an area of $\sim$ 50 km$^2$ and enable RNO-G to measure the radio emission of cosmic-ray induced air-showers, thus making it a cosmic-ray detector as well. As other experiments have shown, such radio emission can be used to make precision cosmic-ray measurements. Additionally,the location of the experiment at Summit Station, at a height of $\sim$3000 m, enables RNO-G to study the phenomena of shower cores hitting the air/ice boundary and further developing in the ice itself. Moreover, RNO-G is also able to study high energetic muons, created in cosmic-ray induced air-showers, which penetrate into the ice from above. In this contribution, we will give an ...
