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
