The KM3NeT Collaboration has successfully deployed its first detection units in the Mediterranean Sea in 2016 (ARCA) and 2017 (ORCA). The sample of data collected between December 2016 and December 2017 has been used to measure the atmospheric muon flux at two different depths under the sea level: 3.5 km with ARCA and 2.5 km with ORCA. The atmospheric muon flux represents an abundant signal...

The Baikal experiment was proposed to register cosmological neutrinos and map the high-energy neutrino sky in the Southern Hemisphere. It will use a km3-scale high-energy neutrino telescope in Lake Baikal. The selection of events from neutrino induced upward going muons, suggests a fairly reliable estimation of the expected background from atmospheric muons. The procedure for simulating...

New measurements at the LHC are needed to resolve the Muon Puzzle in cosmic-ray induced air showers and to reduce the systematic uncertainties of air shower simulations overall. In particular, the very forward production of light hadrons has to be studied with LHCb and other forward detectors. The LHC has accelerated proton and lead beams so far (and a bit of Xenon). The hadronic interaction...

Zero degree calorimeters at LHC like LHCf or in CMS provide the opportunity to identify pion-exchange reactions at very high energies p+p --> p+pi+n where the neutron escapes at zero degree and the pion and the proton subsequently collide in the detector. This provides a unique opportunity to learn about pion collisions, which are one of the largest uncertainties in air showers.

The detector is currently in an R&D phase for an upgrade that will include adding an array of scintillator panels and radio antennas, to the existing array of ice Cherenkov detectors. Understanding the potential physics output of such an array requires a large library of CoREAS simulations. I will present how we are currently using CORSIKA to develop the radio component of the IceTop upgrade...

Dmitriy Kostunin (DESY)6/19/19, 9:35 AMStatus and progress of air shower simulations
There are many reasons for producing millions of equitype CORSIKA simulations, e.g. to cover necessary parameter space for the model or to fit experimental data. Moreover, sometimes it is necessary to perform fast pre-simulations, e.g. with CONEX or other computation-reduced options. We present a SIMulation Manager (SIMM) framework for steering, running and evaluating status of CORSIKA...

CORELib is a collection of simulated showers induced by primary cosmic rays and a common framework to produce and manage such large production. Indeed, CORELib provides high statics background simulation for various astroparticles and astronomy experiments. The simulations are obtained employing widely used CORSIKA simulation framework and the GRID infrastructure as computational resources; in...

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the next generation ground-based array of IACTs, the world’s largest and most sensitive high-energy gamma-ray observatory. The full setup will consist of more than 100 telescopes located in the northern (CTA-N) and southern hemispheres (CTA-S). The Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos (ORM) on the LaPalma island, Spain is selected as a site for the...
