Electromagnetic interactions are a key component in air shower simulations. In CORSIKA 8, the calculation of electromagnetic interactions is carried out by the propagation library PROPOSAL (PRopagator with Optimal Precision and Optimized Speed for All Leptons), which was originally designed for the propagation of high-energy muons and has been considerably expanded to take over the calculation...

8. Current status of electromagnetic shower simulations with CORSIKA 8

Jean-Marco Alameddine (Technische Universität Dortmund)

To simulate electromagnetic showers in CORSIKA 8, an interface to the lepton and photon propagator PROPOSAL has been written.
Thereby, PROPOSAL provides interaction cross sections, continuous energy losses, a description of multiple scattering, and the production of secondary particles in stochastic interactions for both the electromagnetic and the muonic shower component.

This contribution...

24. Electromagnetic shower simulation with FLUKA

Alfredo Ferrari

7/12/22, 12:30 PM

The hadronic interaction models of FLUKA are interfaced with Corsika(7)
since many years (a presentation on this subject will take place on Thursday)

However FLUKA does much more than hadronic interactions, including particle
tranposrt and atomic interactions as well.

A summary of the features implemented in the ElectroMagnetic package of
FLUKA (EMF) will be briefly presented. EMF had been...
