Computer simulations of large cosmic ray showers using recent models of hadronic collisions

This thesis is concerned with the computer simulation of large cosmic ray showers. After a general introduction to cosmic rays and extensive air showers (EAS), a review of the nuclear physics and electromagnetic processes relevant to EAS studies is presented. The method of computer simulation of the...
