Comparison of Hadronic Interaction Models at Auger Energies

Abstract

The three hadronic interaction models DPMJET 2.55, QGSJET 01, and SIBYLL 2.1, implemented in the air shower simulation program CORSIKA, are compared in the energy range of interest for the Pierre Auger experiment. The model dependence of relevant quantities in individual hadronic interactions and air showers is investigated.
