Air Shower Simulations with the New Hadronic Interaction Model EPOS — •Tanguy Pierog1 and Klaus Werner2 — 1FZK, IK, Karlsruhe, Deutschland — 2SUBATECH, Nantes, France
Interpretation of EAS experiments results is strongly based on air shower simulations. The latter being based on hadronic interaction models, any new model can help for the understanding of the nature of cosmic rays. The new model EPOS reproducing all major results of existing accelerator data (including detailed data of RHIC experiments) has been introduced in air shower simulation programs CORSIKA and CONEX allowing comparison with former models such as QGSJET01 or SIBYLL. New results for air shower observables will be discussed in detail.
