sibyll: An event generator for simulation of high energy cosmic ray cascades
Abstract
We describe the physical basis and some applications of an efficient event generator designed for Monte Carlo simulations of atmospheric cascades at ultrahigh energies. The event generator (sibyll) incorporates many features of the Lund programs, but emphasizes the fragmentation region and the production of minijets. A consistent treatment of hadron-hadron and hadron-nucleus interactions is emphasized. Examples of applications are the calculation of coincident muons observed in deep underground detectors and the simulation of the longitudinal development of air shower components in the atmosphere.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
