Radio Measurements with an IceCube-Gen2 Surface Station installed at the Pierre Auger Observatory — •Carmen Merx¹, Sara Reina Torres², Benjamin Flaggs², and Frank Schröder^{1, 2} for the Pierre Auger and IceCube collaboration — ¹Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, Institut für Astroteilchenphysik — ²University of Delaware, Bartol Research Institute

As radio detection of air showers has become a powerful tool to study high-energy cosmic rays, the surface array of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole is planned to be enhanced by radio antennas. The goal is to improve the accuracy of air shower measurements of energies of several 10 PeV and above. To this end, a prototype station composed of three SKALA antennas and eight scintillation panels is taking data at the South Pole in varying setups since 2020. In addition, an equal prototype station has been deployed at the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina in 2022 for tests and comparisons. In this presentation, first measurements of this protype station at the Pierre Auger Observatory will be discussed.
