Status and Performance of the Scintillation detectors of the IceCube Surface Array Enhancement

Shefali, Shefali; IceCube Collaboration

Abstract (englisch):

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a multipurpose detector which includes a unique surface array, IceTop, highly instrumental for cosmic-ray studies in addition to its capability of vetoing for astrophysical neutrino searches for the IceCube in-ice instrumentation. An enhancement of the surface array, with scintillation and radio detectors, in order to facilitate multi-component cosmic ray studies, as well as improving the IceTop detectors calibration by accounting for the snow accumulation on them, has been ongoing. The existing prototype station was upgraded with improved Scintillation detectors at the beginning of January 2023. This contribution will discuss the performance of the scintillation detectors following the 2 years of successful air shower measurements with this upgrade.
