Extensive Air Showers Measured by the 79-string IceCube Observatory at South Pole

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory was completed in the 2010-11 Antarctic season with 86 deep strings and81 surface stations.

Description
Summary:The IceCube Neutrino Observatory was completed in the 2010-11 Antarctic season with 86 deep strings and81 surface stations. Between June 2010 and May 2011 IceCube collected high quality data with 73 stations and 79 strings.The performance of the detector as an air shower array to contribute to our understanding of the cosmic ray spectrumfrom the knee region up to 1 EeV will be demonstrated. The sensitivity to primary composition using high energy muonbundles seen by the IceCube array will also be discussed.
