Abstract
We calculate the effect of intranuclear cascades and rising cross sections on the development of extensive air showers at energies up to 1 GeV. We find that these effects do not completely eliminate previously reported discrepancies between calculated and observed shower properties. We conclude that these discrepancies can only be removed by new features of high-energy interactions, predominantly heavy primaries at these energies, or both.
