Abstract:
One popular, well established and detailed program for simulating extensive air showers (EAS) induced by high energy cosmic rays is CORSIKA. Besides being very versatile with respect to the conditions of the primary interaction generating the EAS, CORSIKA offers also a fair range of data output formats. Taking advantage of that, we present a new way to analyze CORSIKA’s output. In our approach, we build an interactive environment using the Tk extension of the perl scripting language – Pe(rl)TkCo(rsika).
PeTkCo gives researcher a better control over the relevant information to be processed and displayed. As an application, we study the dependence of the maximum coverage area for different types of particles as a function of the energy and type of the primary cosmic ray.
