    A possibility to implement in well-known program CORSIKA user-made changes connected with heavy particles’ production in nucleus–nucleus interactions is considered. Program PYTHIA8.3 and the developed interface between it and CORSIKA are used for that. It is shown that implementation of PYTHIA leads to the increase in the number of muons at the ground level ( ) and electrons (up to 10 ). At the same time, the introduction of the top quark in first nucleus–nucleus collisions does not result in the increase of the number of particles in extensive air showers at the ground level.
