I discuss the calculations of atmospheric fluxes (prompt and conventional)
and LHC input useful for it.
genealogical studies of EM and hadron/muon EAS component with CORSIKA 8 and comparisons with Heitler-Matthews model
Several high-energy cosmic-ray experiments have observed an excess of muons compared to theoretical expectations from air shower simulations based on standard hadronic interaction models. We investigate the potential of producing states of dense quark-gluon matter (so-called fireballs) to resolve the excess of muons on the ground for a given depth of the shower maximum. Adopting a...
CRPropa 3.2, released recently, is the latest update in a continued effort to maintain and extend this open-source code well known in the cosmic-ray community. Originally aimed at simulating the ballistic propagation and interactions of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays, today it can handle diffusive propagation of cosmic rays in a variety of magnetic fields, deal with stochastic cosmic ray...
