Description

High energy cosmic rays can interact in our atmosphere with energies up to 10$^{20}$ eV. At these extreme energies, the high energy hadronic interaction models are not able to describe the observed properties in air showers. In this presentation, we will present a comparison of observations from the Pierre Auger Observatory and expectations according to high energy hadronic interaction models.
