Short Description

corsika_cherenkov_photon_bunch_size

1.0.0

5.0

Cherenkov bunch size definition.

corsika_cherenkov_photon_wavelength_range

1.0.0

240.0 nm, 1000.0 nm

Cherenkov photon wavelength band.

corsika_first_interaction_height

1.0.0

0.0 cm

Starting altitude of primary particles in altitude above observation level. This parameter should be set to values other than ‘0.’ for specialized studies only. See CORSIKA manual for details.

corsika_iact_io_buffer

2.0.0

1000 Mbyte

Maximum size of data blocks written by the CORSIKA IACT module.

corsika_iact_max_bunches

1.0.0

1000000

Maximum number of bunches that can be kept per telescope, including in temporary files.

corsika_iact_split_auto

1.0.0

15000000

Maximum number of bunches before splitting into several blocks (per telescope).

corsika_longitudinal_shower_development

1.0.0

20.0 g / cm2

Step size for recording of longitudinal shower development. Any value >=1. for the step size enables the recording of the shower development.

corsika_particle_kinetic_energy_cutoff

1.0.0

0.3 GeV, 0.1 GeV, 0.02 GeV, 0.02 GeV

Kinetic energy cutoffs for different particle types.

corsika_starting_grammage

1.0.0

0.0 g / cm2

Starting altitude of the primary particle in mass overburden for all showers. This parameter should be set to values other than ‘0.’ for specialized studies only. See CORSIKA manual for details.
