In this article we identify the key elements that govern the propagation of muons from the production in extensive air showers to ground. We describe a model based on simple assumptions that propagates the muons starting from the few relevant distributions at production. We compare the results to the ground distributions given by a full air shower Monte Carlo. This study is motivated by the need of modeling the muon component in extensive air showers with the goal of experimentally reconstructing their distributions at production, which act as a footprint of the hadronic cascade.

Probing the high energy spectrum of neutral pions in ultra-high energy proton-Air interactions
The low-muon-number tail slope in simulated air showers is presented as a direct observable for the high-energy neutral-pion spectrum of the first proton-air interaction.
