On the model uncertainties for the predicted maximum depth of extensive air showers
Sergey Ostapchenko, Guenter Sigl
A quantitative analysis of model uncertainties for calculations of the maximum depth of proton-initiated extensive air showers (EAS) has been performed. Staying within the standard…
QGSJET-III model of high energy hadronic interactions: II. Particle production and extensive air shower characteristics
Sergey Ostapchenko
The hadronization procedure of the QGSJET-III Monte Carlo (MC) generator of high energy hadronic interactions is discussed. Selected results of the model, regarding production spec…
On the model uncertainties for the predicted muon content of extensive air showers
Sergey Ostapchenko, Günter Sigl
Motivated by the excess of the muon content of cosmic ray induced extensive air showers (EAS), relative to EAS modeling, observed by the Pierre Auger Observatory, and by the tensio…
QGSJET-III model of high energy hadronic interactions: The formalism
Sergey Ostapchenko
The physics content of the QGSJET-III Monte Carlo generator of high energy hadronic collisions is described. In particular, a phenomenological implementation of higher twist correc…
Cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere: QGSJET-III and other models
S. Ostapchenko
The physics content of the QGSJET-III Monte Carlo generator of high energy hadronic collisions is discussed. New theoretical approaches implemented in QGSJET-III are addressed in s…
On the prompt contribution to the atmospheric neutrino flux
Sergey Ostapchenko, Maria Vittoria Garzelli, Günter Sigl
The prompt contribution to the atmospheric neutrino flux is analyzed. It is demonstrated that the corresponding theoretical uncertainties related to perturbative treatment of charm…
