The IceCube Collaboration plans to upgrade IceTop with scintillation detectors augmented by radio antennas. A full prototype hybrid station was installed near the center of the IceTop array.
The station features custom-designed DAQ electronics and consists of three radio antennas, sensitive in the MHz region and eight scintillation detectors, each having an active area of 1.5 $m^2$ plastic...
Present on a proposed plan for the continuous in-situ calibration of the surface scintillator panels.
I will present the individual calibration of all the components in the radio electronics chain. This will focus only on the calibration carried out at KIT.
In this talk I will discuss how we can do in situ calibration of the surface radio antennas and present the work that has been done so far with the prototype antennas deployed at the South Pole.
This talk summarizes what we did before for AMANDA and IceCube using cosmic ray events measured by SPASE-2 and IceTop. Calibrations and associated systematics a surface array may provide for Gen2 optical array will be outlined for discussion.
Summary of idea on how the Gen2 surface array can contribute to the calibration of the in-ice arrays. In particular, the surface array provides and in-situ measurement of the cosmic-ray flux, which is the source of the atmospheric backgrounds in the ince.
