Abstract
With the aim of discussing the effect of the possible sources of systematic uncertainties in simulation models, the analysis of multiple muon events f rom the MACRO experiment at Gran Sasso is reviewed. In particular, the pred ictions from different currently available hadronic interaction models are compared.
