TL;DR: The reliability of model calculations is of considerable significance because at energies above those attained by accelerators only model predictions enable us to extract primary cosmic ray characteristics as discussed by the authors, which is of particular relevance in the case of EAS simulations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new type of hadronic interaction model (NEXUS) is introduced, which has a much more solid theoretical basis than, for example, presently used models such as QGSJET and VENUS, and ensures therefore a much reliable extrapolation towards high energies.

TL;DR: The Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging (DAVINCI) mission described in this article was selected for flight to Venus as part of the NASA Discovery Program.

TL;DR: In this paper, experimental data on the EAS muon number fluctuations obtained with the Moscow State University EAS array are analyzed to derive the primary mass composition at energies before and after the knee.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal (LPM) effect on the features of extensive air showers (EAS) was studied and the development of hadronic cascades was described in the quark-gluon string model.
