β¦ Synopsis
The fine segmented hadron calorimeter of the KASCADE experiment allows to study the hadronic component of extensive air showers. Several hadronic observables are compared with predictions of air shower simulations, using Lhe interaction models VENUS, QGSJET and SIBYLL with the objective to test the hadronic interaction models. Results of the comparison are presented.
