“…"ContinuousProcessIndex" instead of just "int", particle codes are enumerated like in "Code code=Electron;". Statically typed units are used to express physics properties, like in "HEPEnergyType E = 1 _GeV;" [10]. Such choices allow the compiler to perform extensive checks on the correctness of expressions, avoiding the most common mistakes.…”

The CORSIKA 8 project is an international collaboration of scientists working together to implement a modern, flexible, robust and efficient framework for the simulation of ultra-high energy secondary particle cascades in matter. While the main application is for simulating cosmic ray air showers, the project aim to useful to other problems in astro(particle), particle and nuclear physics. Besides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art collection of physics models and algorithms relevant for the field, interfaces to deployment modern multicore processors and hardware accelerators (e.g. GPU) are also planned. This contribution presents the status and roadmap of the CORSIKA 8 project.

“…This avoids simple mixup and type mistakes. Second, we use compile-time syntax (statically typed units) to express physics properties, for example "HEPEnergyType E0 = 10_GeV;" and not "double E0 = 10; //GeV", or also "Vector<HEPMomentumType>" [11]. This way the compiler makes the first and strongest check on the correctness of physics expressions -and not the end-user in tedious reverse engineering.…”

The CORSIKA 8 project is an international collaboration of scientists working together to deliver the most modern, flexible, robust and efficient framework for the simulation of ultra-high energy secondary particle cascades in matter. The main application is for cosmic ray air shower simulations, but it can also be applied to other problems in astro(particle)-physics, particle physics and nuclear physics. Besides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art collection of physics models as well as algorithms relevant for the field, also all possible interfaces to hardware acceleration (e.g. GPU) and parallelization (vectorization, multi-threading, multi-core) will be provided. We present the status and roadmap of this project. This code will soon be available for novel explorative studies and phenomonological research, and at the same time for massive productions runs for experiments.

“…Two well-known examples of such codes are CORSIKA [27] and AIRES [33,34]. Interestingly for us, the new CORSIKA 8 [35,36] framework is written in C++, like Pythia 8 but unlike the other hadronic interaction models, and Pythia 8 is already interfaced to handle particle decays, so a further integration is a possibility.…”

The Pythia event generator is used in several contexts to study hadron and lepton interactions, notably $$\mathrm{p}\mathrm{p}$$ p p and $$\mathrm{p}{\bar{\mathrm{p}}}$$ p p ¯ collisions. In this article we extend the hadronic modelling to encompass the collision of a wide range of hadrons h with either a proton or a neutron, or with a simplified model of nuclear matter. To this end we model $$h\mathrm{p}$$ h p total and partial cross sections as a function of energy, and introduce new parton distribution functions for a wide range of hadrons, as required for a proper modelling of multiparton interactions. The potential usefulness of the framework is illustrated by a simple study of the evolution of cosmic rays in the atmosphere, and by an even simpler one of shower evolution in a solid detector material. The new code will be made available for future applications.
