IceAct Project status - SiPM based Imaging Air-Cherenkov Telescopes for IceCube — •Merlin Schaufel2, Thomas Bretz1, Giang Do1, Frank Maslowski1, Yuriy Popovych2, Florian Rehbein1, Jonas Reimann2, Franziska Tischbein2, and Christopher Wiebusch2 for the IceCube collaboration — 1RWTH Aachen University - Physics Institute III A, Aachen, Germany — 2RWTH Aachen University - Physics Institute III B, Aachen, Germany
IceAct is a proposed surface array of cost-effective Imaging Air-Cherenkov telescopes above IceCube for the hybrid detection of Air-Showers. Starting January 2019, two IceAct telescope demonstrators featuring 61 SiPM pixels and improved optics operate in the center of the IceTop surface detector at the geographic South Pole. Combining information from these telescopes and IceCube, it is possible to test the performance in primary particle discrimination, energy calibration, and veto capabilities. We present the status and prospects of the project and first results from coincident and stereoscopic data taken during the antarctic winter 2019/2020.
