A prototype hybrid particle and radio detector for the IceCube experiment — •Max Renscher1, Aswathi Balagopal1, Andreas Haungs1, Thomas Huber1,2, Agnieszka Leszczynska1, Marie Oehler1, Harald Schieler1, Frank G.

A new hybrid particle and radio detector is currently under development to upgrade the IceTop array of the IceCube experiment facing IceCube-Gen2. Using hybrid particle and radio detectors at the IceCube site will not only improve the veto capabilities of IceTop but will also enable the enhanced measurement and reconstruction of Extensive Air Showers (EAS) induced by cosmic rays. Especially with an array of radio antennas triggered by particle detectors, highly inclined EAS can be detected. This gives rise to new science cases, e.g. the search for PeV gamma rays coming from the galactic center which is visible from the IceCube site all over the year at an inclination of 61°. In this presentation, the actual state of the development of the proposed hybrid detectors will be shown, focusing on the radio detection techniques. A possible antenna type will be introduced, first measurements with a prototype array of hybrid detectors will be presented and possible options for a DAQ of the detectors will be discussed.
