Abstract
The main observables of high energy air showers depend on the nature and energy of the primary cosmic ray particles. As a result, simulation of showers initiated by hadronic particles will have a strong dependence on the physics of hadronic interactions at energies well above even the LHC. Using a simplified model to describe hadronic and electromagnetic air shower development, the source of uncertainties in air shower observables can be understood. We will consider how a realistic description of hadronic interactions and detailed simulations of air showers can be achieved with our current knowledge of particle physics and show the consequences on the interpretation of charged cosmic ray data.
