Resumen:
The influence of different hadronic packages on the development of air showers is investigated. In this work we consider in particular the role of VELP (very energetic leading particle) events, that is, hadronic collisions where the leading (most energetic) secondary possess an energy comparable with the primary energy. We analyze the energy transport during the development of the shower, and the impact on the most relevant shower observables.
