Description

IceTop air shower array, as the surface component of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole, is now 92% complete and taking data with 73 stations. The detector will study the mass composition of primary cosmic rays from the knee up to about 1 EeV. In this talk the performance of IceTop, and the preliminary results in the energy range of 1 PeV to 80 PeV will be reported.
