Using the Leptonpropagator PROPOSAL for air shower and underground experiments — •Jan Soedingrekso and Mirco Hünnefeld — TU Dortmund

The lepton propagator PROPOSAL is a simulation library to efficiently propagate leptons and high energy photons through large volumes of media. To study the effect of systematic uncertainties of the cross-sections on the propagation, e.g. the muon energy or the secondary distribution, multiple cross-section parametrizations are implemented. PROPOSAL is mainly used and optimized for the muon propagation in the Cherenkov neutrino astronomy experiment IceCube, but is also used in radio neutrino astronomy simulations.

In this talk, the current status of the library and new opportunities for its usage in air shower and underground experiments are shown.
