TL;DR
This paper presents air shower simulations using the EPOS model, highlighting its improved muon production due to better baryon-antibaryon treatment, which differs significantly from other models.
Contribution
It introduces an enhanced simulation approach with the EPOS model that better accounts for baryon-antibaryon production, leading to increased muon yields.
Findings
EPOS predicts more muons than other models
Improved baryon-antibaryon production explains muon increase
Simulation results align better with experimental data
Abstract
We discuss air shower simulations based on the EPOS hadronic interaction model. A remarkable feature is the fact that the number of produced muons is considerably larger compared to other interaction models. We show that this is due to an improved treatment of baryon-antibaryon production.
