First Radio Measurements of an IceCube Surface Enhancement Station at the Pierre Auger Observatory
Abstract (englisch):
Radio detection of air showers has become a powerful method to measure cosmic rays at energies of several 10 PeV and above. IceTop, the surface array of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole as well as the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina are being upgraded with antenna stations to improve the accuracy of air-shower measurements.
A prototype station of the surface enhancement of IceCube has recently been installed at the Pierre Auger Observatory. This station comprises eight scintillation panels and three SKALA antennas. The frequency band of the SKALA antennas reaches up to 350 MHz, which is significantly higher than the 30-80 MHz currently used at Auger.
During my presentation, I will discuss first measurements of this prototype station at the Auger site.
