1202.2790 (Fabian Kislat et al.)

Status of the IceTop air shower array at the South Pole    [PDF]

Fabian Kislat, for the IceCube Collaboration
The IceTop air shower array is the surface component of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the geographic South Pole. The combination of IceTop and IceCube provides a new and powerful tool to measure cosmic ray composition in the energy range between about 300 TeV and 1 EeV by detecting the electromagnetic component at the surface in coincidence with the muon bundle in the deep underground detector. The paper will give an overview of the current status of the detector and the first physics results will be presented.
