  • In contrast to the investigations that seek to extend the range of IceCube to higher energy CosRay works with IceTop to extend the energy range to lower energy (1-10 GeV) primarily to study the acceleration and transport of solar energetic particles.
  • A neutron monitor is actually an air shower experiment like IceTop but with one key difference � the �air showers� are originated by low energy (typically 1-10 GeV) particles that produce only one secondary at the detector.
  • Although the monitor response functions are similar to the lowest energy IceTop response function, they have a crucial difference in shape that enables determination of the composition of solar energetic particles.
