To investigate the impact of uncertainties in the knowledge of properties of individual hadronic interactions on the development of extensive air showers, the inelastic proton-proton cross section and the elasticity of interactions have been modified within the interaction model QGSJET. Air shower s
We present an efficient hybrid method to simulate the longitudinal development of ultra-high energy air showers, accounting in detail for muon production and fluctuations. Applying this hybrid method to the simulation of extensive air showers with QGSJET and SIBYLL, the predictions of the two hadron
Multi-component measurements of extensive air showers are used to study details of hadronic interactions at high energies. Results of the KASCADE experiment are summarized and limitations of the interpretation of the measurements are pointed out. In addition, requirements are discussed for new meas
