Description

I shall briefly review Monte Carlo models of hadronic and nuclear interactions, used in the high energy cosmic ray field. In particular, I'll illustrate the possibility to push some of those models into the low energy range, with potential applications for calculations of gamma-ray and antiproton fluxes. A special attention will be devoted to the calculation of the so-called nuclear enhancement factors. A relevance to calculations of antideutron production will be also discussed.
