-# CORSIKA 8 Framework for Particle Cascades in Astroparticle Physics**
-
-Documentation and reference guide for the CORSIKA 8 software framework
-for air shower simulations. We aim that CORSIKA remains the most comprehensive
-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 run time
-only specific model parameters can still be changed.
-
-CORSIKA 8 is released under the GPLv3 license. See [license file](https://gitlab.iap.kit.edu/AirShowerPhysics/corsika/blob/master/LICENSE) which is part of every release and the source code. 
-
-When you contribute to CORSIKA check the guidelines outlined here:
-[coding guidelines](https://gitlab.iap.kit.edu/AirShowerPhysics/corsika/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md). Code that fail the review by the CORSIKA author group must be improved before it can be merged in the official code base. 
-
-You need to read and agree to the [collaboration agreement](https://gitlab.iap.kit.edu/AirShowerPhysics/corsika/blob/master/COLLABORATION_AGREEMENT.md). 
-
-We also want to point you to the [MCnet guidelines](https://gitlab.iap.kit.edu/AirShowerPhysics/corsika/blob/master/MCNET_GUIDELINES), which are very useful also for us.
