Observable characteristics of extensive air showers provide indirect information on two important areas of high energy physics and astrophysics, namely, some characteristics of particle interactions in the very forward region and the energy spectra and relative flux of various nuclear groups present in the primary cosmic rays, at ultra-high energies. However, it is necessary to identify observables which provide unique information on one aspect or the other over a specific energy range since there is considerable overlap between the two fields. After a discussion on some significant features of particle interaction models being used for simulation of the development of various components of air showers in the atmosphere, we present a few results to identify some of the observables which may provide significantly new information on physics and astrophysics at ultra-high energies.
