Perturbative QCD predictions and giant air showers
Creators
Description
We discuss QCD-inspired hadronic interaction models used for simulating extensive air showers. The role of perturbative QCD predictions in the extrapolation of modern interaction models to ultra-high energy is summarized, including corresponding uncertainties. Two possible extrapolations of the SIBYLL model are presented and predictions for extensive air showers are discussed, emphasizing the relation between the minijet cross section and observable shower features at ultra-high energy
