Abstract
Studies of the influence of different hadronic models on extensive air showers at ultra-high energies are presented. The hadronic models considered are those implemented in the well-known QGSJET and SIBYLL event generators. The different approaches used in both codes to model the underlying physics is analyzed using computer simulations performed with the program AIRES. The most relevant observables for both single collisions and air showers are studied for primary energies ranging from 1014 eV up to 1020.5 eV. In addition, the evolution of lateral and energy distributions during the shower development is presented. Our analysis seems to indicate that the behaviour of shower observables does not largely reflect the strong differences observed in single collisions.
