Abstract: We have developed a new Monte Carlo code called ATMOCOSMICS based on GEANT 4 that simulates the interaction of cosmic rays with the Earth's atmosphere. The code allows to compute the flux of secondaries (e-, e+, protons, neutrons, gammas, muons, pions, ...) at user-defined atmospheric depths and/or altitudes. Profiles of the energy deposited by atmospheric shower particles into the atmosphere vs depth and/or altitude can be calculated. We present examples of simulation results obtained with the code, and compare them with experimental data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
