  7. 57. Introduction to template meta-programming in C++
    Hans Dembinski (Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics, Heidelberg)
    6/17/19, 4:45 PM
    Status and progress of air shower simulations

    Template meta-programming (TMP) is a fancy and mysterious sounding topic. CORSIKA 8 is using TMP a lot, so in this talk I will explain when it is useful and demonstrate a few key techniques and best practices, based on my experience as the author of Boost.Histogram, which is another TMP-heavy C++ library.

  8. 66. Particle propagation for CORSIKA in PROPOSAL
    Jean-Marco Alameddine
    6/19/19, 11:00 AM
    Status and progress of air shower simulations

    This talk intends to give technical insights into the propagation process of PROPOSAL, a tool to propagate leptons through media. Furthermore, we are going to discuss the requirements and challenges regarding possible use cases for PROPOSAL in CORSIKA in the future.

  9. 67. EmCa - Electromagnetic Cascades Simulation Package
    Stephan Meighen-Berger
    6/19/19, 11:20 AM
    Status and progress of air shower simulations

    Emca is a new python simulation package, based on MCEq, for the calculation of electromagnetic particle fluxes in various materials. The calculations are based on a cascade equation approach, allowing for an iterative calculation of showers. This allows for fast and efficient calculations of cascades, allowing easier testing and prototyping compared to a Monte Carlo approach. The methodology...

  11. 56. Python in High-Energy Physics
    Hans Dembinski (Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics, Heidelberg)
    6/19/19, 2:00 PM
    Requirements and further input

    In high-energy physics (HEP), C++ is still the dominant language, but Python is continuously growing and should overtake C++ in the near future. In the industry, Python is already the dominant language for data science and driving the leading frameworks for machine learning. In this talk, I will show these and other interesting facts and explain how a "slow" interpreted language like Python is...

  18. 15. Speedup of extensive air shower simulations with neural networks
    Marcel Köpke (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)
    6/20/19, 11:55 AM

    The time complexity of extensive air shower simulations rises approximately linearly with the incident particle energy for the CORSIKA 7 framework. The range of cosmic ray energies observed on earth covers several orders of magnitude. In order to simulate the highest energies in the cosmic ray spectrum, one has to introduce some sort of heuristic (e.g. thinning) which reduces runtime and...
