Status of the CORSIKA 8 Project — •Ralf Ulrich for the CORSIKA 8 collaboration — Institute for Astroparticle Physics, KIT

It is the goal of the CORSIKA 8 project to create a novel framework for astroparticle physics to simulate and describe high-energy particle cascades in matter. While solidly founded on the legacy of the fortran version of CORSIKA, this new framework will provide high flexibility, modularity, and is opening new opportunities for research in the intersection of astroparticle-, astro-, particle-, nuclear-physics – and beyond. The CORSIKA 8 framework is implemented as a modern C++ high-performance computing code, with the main goal to provide best achievable physics performance. The recent progress of the CORSIKA 8 framework is described, the current capabilities are presented, and the roadmap to a first production release is outlined.
