In addition to its primary function as a neutrino telescope, IceCube is a unique cosmic-ray detector that covers a range of energies from TeV to EeV.
The full detector reconstructs per year 50,000 atmospheric neutrinos 100 billion atmospheric muons 1 billion air showers with IceTop (10% in coincidence with the deep IceCube).
IceCube is a three dimensional air shower array, which consists of the deep array of 5160 digital optical modules between 1450 and 2450 meters and the IceTop air shower array on the surface.
The energy range accessible with IceCube as an air shower detector is 300 TeV to 1 EeV.
The transition is likely to be at the upper end of the energy range of IceCube, which ...
