Parameter Name	Parameter Version	Values	Short Description
corsika cherenkov photon bunch_size	1.0.0	5.0	Cherenkov bunch size definition.
corsika cherenkov photon wavelength range	1.0.0	240.0 nm, 1000.0 nm	Cherenkov photon wavelength band.
corsika first interaction height	1.0.0	0.0 cm	Starting altitude of primary particles in altitude above observation level. This parameter should be set to values other than ‘0.’ for specialized studies only. See CORSIKA manual for details.
corsika iact_io buffer	1.0.0	800 Mbyte	Maximum size of data blocks written by the CORSIKA IACT module.
corsika iact_max bunches	1.0.0	1000000	Maximum number of bunches that can be kept per telescope, including in temporary files.
corsika iact_split auto	1.0.0	15000000	Maximum number of bunches before splitting into several blocks (per telescope).
corsika longitudinal shower development	1.0.0	20.0 g / cm2	Step size for recording of longitudinal shower development. Any value >=1. for the step size enables the recording of the shower development.
corsika particle kinetic energy cutoff	1.0.0	0.3 GeV, 0.1 GeV, 0.02 GeV, 0.02 GeV	Kinetic energy cutoffs for different particle types.
corsika starting grammage	1.0.0	0.0 g / cm2	Starting altitude of the primary particle in mass overburden for all showers. This parameter should be set to values other than ‘0.’ for specialized studies only. See CORSIKA manual for details.
