About: CORSIKA

An Entity of Type: software, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

CORSIKA (COsmic Ray SImulations for KAscade) is a physics computer software for simulation of extensive air showers induced by high energy cosmic rays, i.e. protons and atomic nuclei, as well as Gamma rays (photons), electrons, and neutrinos. It may be used up to and beyond the highest energies of 100 EeV. It can be used to simulate the generation of Cherenkov radiation, radio emission (Askaryan radiation), and atmospheric neutrinos. A complete rewrite of CORSIKA in C++ named CORSIKA 8 is currently work in progress.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • CORSIKA (COsmic Ray SImulations for KAscade) is a physics computer software for simulation of extensive air showers induced by high energy cosmic rays, i.e. protons and atomic nuclei, as well as Gamma rays (photons), electrons, and neutrinos. It may be used up to and beyond the highest energies of 100 EeV. In the current version the program utilizes the hadronic interaction models EPOS, , and , which are based on , and based on a model for highenergies. Hadronic interactions at lower energies are described either by the module, by FLUKA, or by the UrQMD model. Electromagnetic interactions are treated by an adapted version of the EGS4 code,customized by including the Landau–Pomeranchuk–Migdal effect relevant at higher energies. It can be used to simulate the generation of Cherenkov radiation, radio emission (Askaryan radiation), and atmospheric neutrinos. A complete rewrite of CORSIKA in C++ named CORSIKA 8 is currently work in progress. (en)
