Abstract
Different interaction models treating hadronic collisions below E_lab < 100 GeV in air shower simulations are compared within the frame of the CORSIKA program. Their behaviour is studied in isolated collisions of protons or pions with light-mass targets in comparison with experimental data. It is discussed how model properties influence air-shower parameters like the longitudinal profile or the lateral distribution of particles arriving at ground.
