COrsika data AccesS Tools

is a bundle of C++ code providing simple and standardized access to CORSIKA data.

It consists of an interface definition to CORSIKA (with ROOTOUT) for direct access to CORSIKA data during air shower simulation. Based on this two alternative CORSIKA data file writing codes are implemented. One is writing ROOT files, and one is writing machine independent CORSIKA binary block files (this is usefull for AMD64 systems).

Also included is a CORSIKA data file reader able to read thinned or not-thinned showers.
