Abstract
We perform an analysis of the nucleonic and hadronic fluxes in the atmosphere by considering two components for the nucleon scattering, namely non-diffractive and diffractive interactions. It is shown that, albeit small, the diffractive component is really necessary to get good agreement with data. An analysis of the proton - proton total cross section and proton - air inelastic cross section, both extracted from cosmic-ray data, is also presented.
