First Results of Fast One-dimensional Hybrid Simulation of EAS Using CONEX

Astrophysics 2009-07-22 v1

Abstract

A hybrid simulation code is developed that is suited for fast one-dimensional simulations of shower profiles, including fluctuations. It combines the Monte Carlo simulation of high energy interactions with a fast numerical solution of cascade equations for the resulting distributions of secondary particles. Results obtained with this new code, called CONEX, are presented and compared to CORSIKA predictions.
