Test of Hadronic Interaction Models with the KASCADE Hadron Calorimeter
The interpretation of extensive air shower (EAS) measurements often requires the comparison with EAS simulations based on high-energy hadronic interaction models. These interaction models have to extrapolate into kinematical regions and energy ranges beyond the limit of present accelerators. Therefore, it is necessary to test whether these models are able to describe the EAS development in a co...
متن کاملConfronting the EPOS-LHC model predictions on the charged particle and muon attenuation lengths of EAS with the measurements of the KASCADE-Grande observatory
KASCADE-Grande was an air-shower experiment designed to study cosmic rays between 1016 and 1018 eV. The instrument was located at the site of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany at an altitude of 110m a.s.l. and covered an area of 0.5 km. KASCADE-Grande consisted of several detector systems dedicated to measure different components of the EAS generated by the primary cosmic rays, i.e...
متن کاملTest of hadronic interaction models with the KASCADE-Grande muon data
KASCADE-Grande is an air-shower observatory devoted for the detection of cosmic rays with energies in the interval of 1014 − 1018 eV, where the Grande array is responsible for the higher energy range. The experiment comprises different detection systems which allow precise measurements of the charged, electron and muon numbers of extensive air-showers (EAS). These data is employed not only to r...
متن کاملTest of Hadronic Interaction Models in the Forward Region with KASCADE Event Rates
An analysis of muon and hadron rates observed in the central detector of the KASCADE experiment has been carried out. The data are compared to CORSIKA simulations employing the high-energy hadronic interaction models QGSJET, DPMJET, HDPM, SIBYLL, and VENUS. In addition, first results with the new hadronic interaction model neXus 2 are discussed. Differences of the model predictions, both among ...
متن کاملKASCADE-Grande: Composition studies in the view of the post-LHC hadronic interaction models
The KASCADE-Grande experiment has significantly contributed to the current knowledge about the energy spectrum and composition of cosmic rays for energies between the knee and the ankle. Meanwhile, post-LHC versions of the hadronic interaction models are available and used to interpret the entire data set of KASCADE-Grande. In addition, a new, combined analysis of both arrays, KASCADE and Grand...
متن کاملSearch for elongated spatial structures in hadronic shower cores with KASCADE
In this analysis the structure of hadronic shower cores is investigated with the KASCADE calorimeter. The energy, position, and direction of incidence for individual hadrons above 50 GeV are measured. In parallel, the spatial structure is studied using the simulation program CORSIKA with the hadronic interaction model QGSJET. First results are presented for the showers with primary energies abo...
