Description
The Pierre Auger Observatory studies ultra-high energy cosmic rays.
Interactions of these particles with the nuclei of air gases at energies
many orders of magnitude above the current accelerator capabilities induce
unprecedented extensive air showers in the atmosphere. Different interaction
models are used to describe the first interactions in such showers and their
predictions are confronted with measured shower characteristics.
We created libraries of cosmic ray showers with more than 35 000 simulated events
using CORSIKA with EPOS or QGSjetII models. These showers are reused several times
for simulation of detector response at different position within the detector array.
We describe our experience with installation of the specific software on the grid
and running large amount of jobs on sites supporting the VO auger with dedicated and
also opportunistic resources. A web based dashboard for summary of job states was developed together with a custom database of available files with simulated and reconstructed showers.
