First Results of Fast One-dimensional Hybrid Simulation of EAS Using CONEX
read the original abstract
A hybrid simulation code is developed that is suited for fast one-dimensional simulations of shower profiles, including fluctuations. It combines the Monte Carlo simulation of high energy interactions with a fast numerical solution of cascade equations for the resulting distributions of secondary particles. Results obtained with this new code, called CONEX, are presented and compared to CORSIKA predictions.

Prospects for Deep-Learning-Based Mass Reconstruction of Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays using Simulated Air-Shower Profiles
A CNN predicts ln A from longitudinal shower profiles with bias under 0.4, resolution 1-1.5, and proton-iron merit factor 2.19, outperforming simpler ML models on shape parameters and remaining robust to hadronic mode...

Readdressing the contribution of photonuclear reactions to the muon content of extensive air showers: a heuristic approach
A new heuristic estimates photonuclear reactions' contribution to muon numbers in extensive air showers with roughly 10% absolute error over wide parameter ranges.
