TL;DR
The paper discusses results from the KASCADE-Grande experiment, which tests hadronic interaction models using air-shower data to better understand cosmic rays and high-energy particle interactions.
Contribution
It provides the first quantitative tests of hadronic interaction models with air shower data from KASCADE and KASCADE-Grande.
Findings
Validation of hadronic interaction models with air-shower data
Insights into cosmic-ray properties at high energies
Extension of previous results with KASCADE-Grande data
Abstract
Cosmic rays provide an unique approach to study hadronic interactions at high energies in the kinematic forward direction. The KASCADE air shower experiment was the first to conduct quantitative tests of hadronic interactions with air shower data. A brief overview is given on results from KASCADE and its extension KASCADE-Grande with respect to investigations of hadronic interactions and the properties of cosmic rays.
