CORSIKA 8 Framework for Particle Cascades in Astroparticle Physics

The purpose of CORSIKA is to simulate any particle cascades in astroparticle physics or astrophysical context. A lot of emphasis is put on modularity, flexibility, completeness, validation and correctness. To boost computational efficiency different techniques are provided, like thinning or cascade equations. The aim is that CORSIKA remains the most comprehensive framework for simulating particle cascades with stochastic and continuous processes.

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 model parameters can still be changed.

CORSIKA 8 is by default released under the GPLv3 license. See license file which is part of every release and the source code.

If you use, or want to refer to, CORSIKA 8 please cite "Towards a Next Generation of CORSIKA: A Framework for the Simulation of Particle Cascades in Astroparticle Physics", Comput.Softw.Big Sci. 3 (2019) 2. We kindly ask (and require) any relevant improvement or addition to be offered or contributed to the main CORSIKA 8 repository for the benefit of the whole community.

When you plan to contribute to CORSIKA 8 check the guidelines outlined here: coding guidelines. Code that fails the review by the CORSIKA author group must be improved before it can be merged in the official code base. After your code has been accepted and merged, you become a contributor of the CORSIKA 8 project (code author).

IMPORTANT: Before you contribute, you need to read and agree to the collaboration agreement. The agreement can be discussed, and eventually improved.

We also want to point you to the MCnet guidelines, which are very useful also for us.
