 <abstract>IceTop is the surface component of the IceCube neutrino telescope at the South Pole.
It will serve as an air-shower array that consists of cylindrical tanks of clear ice.
Electrons, positrons, gamma rays and muons produce Cherenkov radiation directly or
through interaction products. It is therefore important to have a good understanding
of these processes. A thorough knowledge will permit the calculation of the response
function, allowing good estimates of the array trigger rates.

The continuous recording of a single tank rate also provides a means for IceTop to
function as a large area low energy cosmic ray monitor. It serves the twofold purpose
of detecting a) changes in the local interplanetary medium environment and b) the
arrival of transient particles from solar events. We will present a simulation for
this detector configuration and compare results to these measurements. The analysis
will attempt to quantify the potential capabilities of IceTop as an observatory for
Solar and Heliospheric phenomena.</abstract>
