abstract = {A promising technique to measure neutrinos above 10 PeV is
the detection of radio signals generated by the Askaryan
effect. The effect is caused by neutrino-induced particle
cascades in dense media e.g. ice. Starting in 2021, RNO-G, a
new detector using this technique and containing in-ice
detector strings will be deployed in Greenland. One of the
main challenges of the data analysis will be distinguishing
between a cosmic ray muon and a real neutrino event. By
building the detector with surface antennas we can use the
established method of radio detection of air showers to
identify incoming muons and use these signals as veto
mechanism in the neutrino detection. An efficient veto
trigger will lend higher confidence in identifying neutrinos
and prevent the false positive neutrino detection caused by
muons. To obtain an efficient veto, a surface trigger
mechanism has to be developed and optimized. The trigger is
based on the trace envelope in a frequencyband from 80MHz to
180MHz. A coincidence of two channels is requires in order
to trigger. One RNO-G station will be sensitive to air
showers from 1 × $10^17$ eV on. The expected number of
detected cosmic rays is 3.17 ± 1.69 per day and station.
The overall veto efficiency on a muon event is 29 $\%.$},
