Recent Results of Cosmic Ray Measurements from IceCube and IceTop

IceCube is a cubic-kilometer Cherenkov detector located in the deep ice at the geographic South Pole. The dominant event yield in the deep ice detector consists of penetrating atmospheric muons produced in cosmic ray air showers with energies above several 100 GeV. In addition, the surface array, Ic...
