Test of Hadronic Interaction Models with the KASCADE Hadron Calorimeter
The interpretation of extensive air shower (EAS) measurements often requires the comparison with EAS simulations based on high-energy hadronic interaction models. These interaction models have to extrapolate into kinematical regions and energy ranges beyond the limit of present accelerators. Therefore, it is necessary to test whether these models are able to describe the EAS development in a co...

Using the large hadron calorimeter of the KASCADE experiment, hadronic cores of extensive air showers have been studied. The hadron lateral and energy distributions have been investigated in order to study the reliability of the shower simulation program CORSIKAwith respect to particle transport, decays, treatment of low-energy particles, etc. A good description of the data has been found at la...

متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Measurement of attenuation lengths of hadrons in air showers with KASCADE
Different methods are applied to derive the attenuation lengths of hadrons in air showers with the KASCADE experiment. A data set of unaccompanied hadrons is used (where only a hadron is registered with a calorimeter) as well as full air showers, where also the number of electrons and muons is registered with a field array. The different attenuation lengths obtained are discussed.
متن کاملThe Physics of the Knee in the Cosmic Ray Spectrum
Recent results from the KASCADE extensive air shower experiment are presented. After briefly reviewing the status of the experiment we report on tests of hadronic interaction models and emphasize the progress being made in understanding the properties and origin of the knee at eV. Analysing the muonand hadron trigger rates in the KASCADE calorimeter as well as the global properties of high ener...
