Studies on Monte Carlo generator tuning for cosmic-ray induced air shower simulations *Kevin Kröninger, Salvatore La Cagnina, and •Michael Windau — TU Dortmund, Fakultät Physik

Monte Carlo (MC) generators are a fundamental tool in particle and astroparticle physics. To achieve a high-quality simulation of physical processes, the hadronic interaction model of the generator must be tuned efficiently. The free parameters of MC generators are optimized with the help of experimental data and Bayesian methods. One area of application for MC generators is the simulation of cosmic-ray induced air showers in the Earth’s atmosphere. Since hadronic interactions have a direct influence on the composition of secondary particles in shower formations, tuning the parameters of these hadronic models has an impact on crucial observables such as the muon number.

In this talk, studies on the tuning of the Monte Carlo generator PYTHIA for cosmic-ray induced air showers simulated with CORSIKA 8 are presented.
