Abstract. A general thermodynamic formula for miiltihadron production is discussed in aspect of its application in cosmic ray study. It is based on a simple picture of cascading processes producing many hadrons in particle collisions at high energies. This formula reproduces the common features of secondary hadrons in p-p, e+e- and in deep inelastic scattering. It has been used for interpretation of calorimeter data for hadron component of extensive air showers which are obtained in Karlsruhe experiment.
