Measurements with the IceCube Surface Array Enhancement prototype — •Hrvoje Dujmovic for the IceCube collaboration — Institut für Astroteilchenphysik, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT)

IceTop, the surface array of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, currently consists of 162 ice Cherenkov tanks distributed over an area of 1 km. IceTop is used for cosmic-ray air shower detection and as a veto for the in-ice neutrino detector. The science case of IceTop will be greatly improved by complementing the existing detectors with an array of radio antennas and scintillator panels. The enhancement array will cover the same footprint as IceTop and will consist of 32 stations. One such station, consisting of 3 radio antennas and 8 scintillator panels, was deployed at the South Pole in January 2020. In this talk, we will present the measurements with the prototype station. The results obtained from the prototype station will help us better understand the full capabilities and physics potential of the IceCube*s surface enhancement.
