Hadronic interaction models and the air shower simulation program CORSIKA
The Monte Carlo program CORSIKA simulates the 4-dimensional evolution of extensive air showers in the atmosphere initiated by photons, hadrons or nuclei. It contains links to the hadronic interaction models DPMJET, HDPM, NEXUS, QGSJET, SIBYLL, and VENUS. These codes are employed to treat the hadronic interactions at energies above 80 GeV. Since their first implementation in 1996 the models DPMJ...
متن کاملInfluence of Low Energy Hadronic Interactions on Air-shower Simulations
Experiments measuring cosmic rays above an energy of ∼ 10 eV deduce the energy and mass of the primary cosmic ray particles from air-shower simulations. We investigate the importance of hadronic interactions at low and high energies on the distributions of muons and electrons in showers on ground. In air shower simulation programs, hadronic interactions below an energy threshold in the range fr...
متن کاملSome comments on Models of hadronic interactions at air shower energies
Several models of minimum-bias hadronic interactions at ultra-high energy that have been used for calculations of air showers share essential common features. In this talk I review these common elements and discuss some consequences. I concentrate on properties of hadronnucleus interactions, and I use mean depth of shower maximum as a function of primary energy to illustrate my main points. I w...
متن کاملHadronic interactions and extensive air showers
Understanding hadronic multiparticle production is important for deriving the composition and energy spectrum of primary cosmic rays from air shower measurements at high energy. In this article, predictions of hadronic interaction models are discussed, emphasizing uncertainties and constraints due to model assumptions and accelerator measurements. The sensitivity of shower observables to model ...
متن کاملComparisons of Hadronic Shower Packages
The high precision measurements needed to exploit the physics potential of an ee Future Linear Collider with 0.5 1 TeV center-of-mass energy range set strict requirements on performance of vertex, tracking and calorimetric detectors. The CALICE Collaboration [1] has been formed to conduct the research and development effort needed to bring initial conceptual designs for the calorimetry to a fin...
