✦ Synopsis

Using the correlations of the hadronic, electromagnetic, and muonic components of extensive air showers measured with the experiment KASCADE the influence of hadronic interaction models on the simulation of air showers is investigated. For the simulations CORSIKA with GHEISHA and FLUKA as low-energy models and DPMJET, SIBYLL, and QGSJET as high-energy models have been used.
