Abstract
We discuss collective effects like percolation, quark gluon plasma, or stri ng fusion and their effect on the longitudinal development of high energy s howers in Air. It is shown that Iron-Air showers could develop more slowly than expected and produce the observed change in the slope of X-max at the highest energies. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
