Abstract

Interpretation of EAS characteristics for primary energy above the energy attained by man made accelerator is dominated by model predictions and detailed simulations. Differences and uncertainties in these hadronic interaction models play crucial role in the prediction of EAS characteristics. A comparative study for muon numbers to primary energy ratio and depth of shower maximum for different hadronic interaction models available in monte-carlo simulation code CORSIKA viz. QGSJET01, QGSJET-II, DPMJET, EPOS, SYBILL, and VENUS for two primaries (viz. proton and iron) in the energy range 10 14 eV to 10 17 eV is presented in this work.
