Uncertainty in the hadronic interaction models is one of the most important sources of the difficulty to interpret cosmic-ray air shower data. Large Hadron Collider at CERN can provide the best opportunity to test and improve the models at the maximum laboratory energy of 10^17eV. In this talk, some key observations from the LHC experiments are reviewed. Among them detail of a dedicated...

26. Hadronic interaction models in air showers simulations: updates based on recent LHC data

We will give an introductory overview on hadronic interaction models used for simulations of air showers and their predictions. Emphasis will be put on QGSJet and EPOS. The development of hadronic interaction models is promoted by recent data from the LHC, which has a dedicated observation program for forward-physics. Hadronic interactions which produce particles close to the beam line are...
