Description
Ultrahigh energy cosmic ray air showers probe particle physics at energies beyond the reach of accelerators. We will present the different approaches to determine air shower observables relevant for testing hadronic interactions, e.g. for a given primary energy and composition, the number of muons is sensitive to hadronic interactions. We will explain the systematic uncertainties to eventually quantify discrepancies between recorded and simulated data.
