Description
The interpretation of extensive air shower measurements, produced by
ultra-high energy cosmic rays, relies on the correct modelling of the
hadron-air interactions that occur during the shower development. The
majority of hadronic particles is produced at equivalent beam energies
below the TeV range. NA61/SHINE is a fixed target experiment using
secondary beams produced at CERN using the SPS. Hadron-hadron
interactions have been recorded at beam momenta between 13 and 350
GeV/c with a wide-acceptance spectrometer. In this talk we present
measurements of the identified secondary hadron spectra and the
resonance production from pion-carbon interactions, which are
essential for modelling air showers. Moreover, we will show results
from p+C and p+p interactions.
