Description
I shall review the state-of-the-art concerning the treatment of high energy cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere, discussing in some detail the underlying physical concepts and presenting a comparison of model results with selected accelerator data. Further, the relation of basic characteristics of hadronic interactions with the properties of
nuclear-electromagnetic cascades induced by primary cosmic rays
in the atmosphere will be addressed.
