CORSIKA School 2010

17 Dec 2010, 09:00 → 20 Dec 2010, 16:00 Asia/Kolkata

Auditorium (CRL, Ooty)

Andreas Haungs (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology), Ralph Engel (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology), Sunil Gupta (TIFR)

The CORSIKA School is intended to provide PhD students and young researchers, in the field of astroparticle physics, the knowledge needed to simulate and understand the phenomenon of extensive air showers. Emphasis is put on pedagogical introductions to the physics and phenomenology of cosmic ray showers, electromagnetic and hadronic interactions as well as the technical aspects of the program package CORSIKA.
