How uncertain are model predictions for the muon content of extensive air showers
Sergey Ostapchenko
The relation of model predictions for muon content of extensive air showers (EAS) to particular properties of hadron-air interactions is discussed. Further, using a new Monte Carlo…
A basic model for high energy cosmic ray interactions
Sergey Ostapchenko, Tanguy Pierog, Günter Sigl
A Monte Carlo generator of high energy cosmic ray interactions, relying on a very basic and transparent theoretical formalism, in the framework of the Reggeon Field Theory, is pres…
Charmed hadron production in the QGSJET-III model: relevance to calculations of the prompt atmospheric neutrino background
Sergey Ostapchenko, Günter Sigl
The treatment of charmed hadron production in the framework of the QGSJET-III Monte Carlo generator is developed, including both perturbative and nonperturbative contributions. For…
QGSJET-III: predictions for extensive air shower characteristics and the corresponding uncertainties
Sergey Ostapchenko
The physics content of the QGSJET-III Monte Carlo model of high energy hadronic interactions is briefly described. The predictions of the model for extensive air shower characteris…
