Cosmic Ray Measurements with IceCube
We report on measurements of cosmic rays in the energy range between some 100TeV and about 1 EeV using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole. The IceCube facility combines the in-ice detector with the 1-km2 surface detector IceTop. The combination offers a unique possibility to study th...

| Summary: | We report on measurements of cosmic rays in the energy range between some 100TeV and about 1 EeV using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole. The IceCube facility combines the in-ice detector with the 1-km2 surface detector IceTop. The combination offers a unique possibility to study the air-shower development at the surface together with the highenergy muons and neutrinos generated in the first interactions in the upper atmosphere. The report gives an overview of experimental results and a discussion of their impact on the understanding of cosmic rays and of hadronic air-shower models. Finally, we briefly discuss the ongoing upgrade activities for the current surface detector and for the future extensions (IceCube-Gen2). |
