In situ performance of the IceAct Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope at the South Pole — •Erik Ganster, Jan Auffenberg, Pascal Backes, Thomas Bretz, Giang Do, Jan Paul Koschinsky, Leif Rädel, Martin Rongen, Anna Sauret, Merlin Schaufel, Johannes Schumacher, Aatif Waza, and Christopher Wiebusch for the IceCube collaboration — III. Physikalisches Institut, RWTH Aachen University

The IceAct Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes are proposed surface detectors extending the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. By observing cosmic ray air showers in the atmosphere with a SiPM based camera, IceAct is capable to veto atmospheric muons and neutrinos, which are a background in cosmic neutrino searches. In December 2015 a 7-pixel demonstrator telescope has been installed at the South Pole and operated in coincidence with IceCube. We present the first analysis of coincident events with the IceCube in-ice detector and the IceTop surface detector and conclude on the performance of the telescope.
