Description
Hadronic cross sections relevant to the air shower development are difficult to calculate from the first principle. Instead, phenomenological models are developed, and they are tested using the accelerator data. Because the Large Hadron Collider provides the highest collision energy, 13TeV in the center-of-momentum system and 10^{17} eV cosmic-ray equivalent energy, it is the best tool to tune the models. Intensive studies and tunings of the cosmic-ray models are carried out since the beginning of the LHC. The status of model verifications and tuning using the LHC data will be reviewed in this talk after a general introduction to the collider experiments. Results from non-LHC accelerator experiments and future possibilities relevant to air shower will be also discussed.
