DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Stef Verpoest (University of Gent)\, The IceCube Col
 laboration\n\nThe IceTop and IceCube detectors at the South Pole provide t
 he opportunity to simultaneously measure the electromagnetic and low-energ
 y muonic component of a cosmic-ray air shower at the surface\, and the pen
 etrating muons in the deep ice. Various properties of the bundle of muons 
 above several 100 GeV measured in IceCube are sensitive to the mass of the
  primary cosmic ray and contain information about the hadronic physics of 
 the first interactions in the atmosphere. By combining a maximum-likelihoo
 d reconstruction of the energy loss of the muon bundle with a simple Convo
 lutional or Recurrent Neural Network\, the multiplicity of muons above a c
 ertain energy threshold in the shower can be estimated with reasonable acc
 uracy. Along with information on the electromagnetic shower component as m
 easured by IceTop\, this opens the possibility for a measurement of the ev
 olution of the average high-energy muon content of air showers with primar
 y energies from PeV to EeV.\n\nhttps://events.icecube.wisc.edu/event/141/c
