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
|
|
|
|
framework for simulating particle cascades with stochastic and continuous processes. The purpose of CORSIKA is to
|
|
|
|
simulate any particle cascades in astroparticle physics or astrophysical context. A lot of emphasis is put on modularity, completeness, validation and correctness. 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.

only specific parameters can still be changed.
