Status of CORSIKA 8Maximilian Reininghaus1, Felix Riehn2, Ralf Ulrich1, and •Darko Veberič11Institut für Kernphysik, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT), Karlsruhe, Deutschland — 2Laboratório de Instrumentação e Física Experimental de Partículas, Lissabon, Portugal

Current and future challenges in astroparticle physics require novel simulation tools to achieve higher accuracy and more flexibility. For the last three decades the FORTRAN version of the Monte Carlo air shower simulation package CORSIKA served the community in an excellent way. However, the effort to maintain and further develop this complex package has become increasingly difficult. To overcome existing limitations we are developing CORSIKA 8 in modern C++, designed as a modular framework and open platform useful for all particle cascade simulations in astroparticle physics. In this contribution, we give a status report on the project and show first simulations of hadronic showers.
