Abstract
The Surface Array Enhancement of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory is set to equip the existing
surface cosmic-ray array of ice-Cherenkov detectors, IceTop, with radio antennas and scintillation
detectors. This can lower the energy threshold of detection and increase the measurement accuracy
of IceTop. The antenna readout uses a multiplicity trigger from the scintillation detectors. A fully
functioning prototype station of the enhancement was deployed at the South Pole in 2020 and
upgraded in 2023, and provides a pathway for the future IceCube-Gen2 surface array detector.
Previous results include air-shower searches with existing data using traditional and machine
learning methods and a preliminary estimation of 𝑋max. The detection methods for radio involving
multi-detector components are described and the latest results are presented.
