Description
I'll review the status and recent developments of Monte Carlo models of high energy hadronic interactions, employed in the cosmic ray field. A special attention will be devoted to the impact of the LHC data on the model improvements. Additionally, the potential of the forthcoming LHC measurements to discriminate between the underlying model approaches will be analysed. Finally, the relation to the ultra-high energy cosmic ray composition puzzle will be discussed.
