Hadronic Interactions at Cosmic Ray Energies
General physics of very high energy hadronic interactions is discussed. Special attention is payed to the contribution of semihard processes to the interaction dynamics and to the role of parton shadowing and parton density saturation. In particular, the implementation of non-linear interaction effects in the QGSJET-II model is discussed in detail. The predictions of the model are compared to s...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Generators
The structure of events in high-energy collisions is complex and not predictable from first principles. Event generators allow the problem to be subdivided into more manageable pieces, some of which can be described from first principles, while others need to be based on appropriate models with parameters tuned to data. In these lectures we provide an overview, discuss how matrix elements are u...
متن کاملHadronic Interactions and TeV Muons in Cosmic Ray Cascades
In view of the interpretation of data collected by large deep underground experiments in terms of primary Cosmic Ray physics, this work is focused on the study of the production of of TeV muons in Extensive Air Showers. The review tries to point out those features of hadronic interactions that mostly affect the production of the high energy muons. A few different Monte Carlo codes are compared,...
متن کاملHadronic Interactions for High Energy Cosmic Ray Air Showers
Understanding hadronic interactions at high energies represents a very important ingredient for modeling high energy cosmic ray air showers. In this paper, we present a new approach to simulate hadronic interactions, including hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus, and nucleus-nucleus scattering, in the energy range roughly between 10 11 and 10 17 eV. Such collisions are very complex, being composed of...
متن کاملRadio emission from cosmic ray air showers Monte Carlo simulations
We present time-domain Monte Carlo simulations of radio emission from cosmic ray air showers in the scheme of coherent geosynchrotron radiation. Our model takes into account the important air shower characteristics such as the lateral and longitudinal particle distributions, the particle track length and energy distributions, a realistic magnetic field geometry and the shower evolution as a who...
