Monte Carlo (MC) generators are a fundamental tool in particle and astroparticle physics. To achieve a high-quality simulation of physical processes involving hadrons, the hadronic interaction model of the generator must be tuned efficiently. The free parameters of MC generators are optimized with the help of experimental data and Bayesian methods.

One area of application for MC generators is...

33. Generic hadron-ion collisions in Pythia/Angantyr

Utheim Marius (University of Jyväskylä)

6/12/23, 2:00 PM

In this talk I will present a new model for hadron-ion collisions in Pythia8/Angantyr, for generic hadron species. This work also includes a feature to change the hadron species and energies on an event-by-event basis, which is particularly important for applications to hadronic showers. The basic features of the model are tested by comparing to photoproduction data from HERA, UPC data from...

1. Corsika based studies of secondary muon’s impact on DEASA detectors.

Sonali Bhatnagar (Dayalbagh Educational Institute)

The earlier studies in Corsika predicted the primary particle energy spectrum, densities, and time of arrival of secondary cosmic particles at the ground detectors [1]. Recently the emphasis has shifted to how the atmosphere thickness, the environmental effects due to atmospheric conditions, and geomagnetic fields can affect the number of secondary particles produced in the air shower. The...
