10. Validation of Electromagnetic Showers in CORSIKA 8 (talk)

Alexander Sandrock (Bergische Universität Wuppertal)

6/12/23, 9:45 AM

The air shower simulation code CORSIKA has served as a key part of the simulation chain for numerous astroparticle physics experiments over the past decades. Due to retirement of the original developers and the increasingly difficult maintenance of the monolithic Fortran code of CORSIKA, a new air shower simulation framework has been developed over the course of the last years in C++, called...

28. Simulating radio emission from air showers with CORSIKA 8 (poster)

Nikos Karastathis (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)

CORSIKA 8 is a new framework for air shower simulations implemented in modern C++17, based on past experience with existing codes like CORSIKA 7. The flexible and modular structure of the project allows the development of independent modules that can produce a fully customizable air shower simulation. The radio module in particular is designed to treat the signal propagation and electric field...

2. Simulations of cross media showers with CORSIKA 8 (poster)

Juan Ammerman-Yebra (IGFAE, University of Santiago de Compostela)

The CORSIKA 8 project aims to develop a versatile and modern framework for particle shower simulations that meets the new needs of experiments and addresses the caveats of existing codes. Of particular relevance is the ability to compute particle showers that pass through two or more different media, of varying density, in a single run within a single code. CORSIKA 8 achieves this flexibility...

27. Comparison and efficiency of GPU accelerated optical light propagation with CORSIKA8 (talk)

Dominik Baack (TU Dortmund)

AI accelerators have proliferated in data centers in recent years and are now almost ubiquitous. In addition, their computational power and, most importantly, their energy efficiency are up to orders of magnitude higher than that of traditional computing. Over the last years, various methods and optimizations have been tested to use these hybrid systems for simulations in the context of...

15. Parallel processing of radio signals and detector arrays in CORSIKA 8 (talk)

Dr Antonio Augusto Alves Junior (KIT-IKP)

6/12/23, 11:45 AM

This contribution describes some recent advances in the parallelization of the generation and processing of radio signals emitted by particle showers in CORSIKA 8. CORSIKA 8 is a Monte Carlo simulation framework for modeling ultra-high energy secondary particle cascades in astroparticle physics.
The aspects associated with the generation and processing of radio signals in antennas arrays are...

16. The particle-shower simulation code CORSIKA 8 (talk)

Tim Huege (KIT)

6/12/23, 12:15 PM

CORSIKA up to version 7 has been the most-used Monte Carlo code for simulating extensive air showers for more than 20 years. Due to its monolithic, Fortran-based software design and hand-optimized code, however, it has become difficult to maintain, adapt to new computing paradigms and extend for more complex simulation needs. These limitations led to the CORSIKA 8 project, which constitutes a...
