@mainpage CORSIKA air shower simulations framework

Documentation and reference guide for the CORSIKA8 software framework
for air shower simulations. CORSIKA is the most comprehensive
framework for air shower simulations. CORSIKA is characterized by
simulating particle cascades in astrophysical environments. The impact
of stochastic and continuous processes on the cascade development is
simulated. To boost computational efficiency different techniques are
provided, like thinning or cascade equations. 

The software makes extensive use of static design patterns and
compiler optimization. Thus, the most fundamental configuration
decision of the user must be performed at compile time. At runtime
only spcific parameters can still be changed.
