Welcome to the Home Page of Cosmos




Cosmos (from v8.00) is now compatible with the formal Fortran grammar:

i.e, can be compiled with GNU gfortan as well as Intel ifort. etc
The essential difference from the older ones is in the treatment of the "structure construct". The conversion of "old to new" style was managed by the new Cosmos development team
For more details, see a short manual with some updated features in this version.

What is Cosmos ?

It is a versatile Monte Carlo simulaiton code for propagatio of cosmic rays in the atmosphere and near earth environment. It can treate low energy phenomena such as atmospheric neutrino problems with muon polarization, or very high energy air showers in the GZK cutoff region with magnetic bremsstrahlung and pair creation effects and/or the LPM effect.





PS or pdf manuals are available. (The pdf version is rather dirty). Important points (especially for those who know Cosmos already) are printed in red letters. From uv 6.30, Geomview is fully suported and the manual for it is also ready.
