Description
The LHCf collaboration has successfully completed at the end of 2016 the main part of its measurement campaign of neutral particles produced in the forward direction at the Large Hadron Collider. The main purpose of these measurements is to provide the Cosmic Ray and High Energy Physics communities with a missing unique set of information for the improvement of the hadronic interaction models used to simulate air showers produced by cosmic rays in the Earth atmosphere. The last two data sets collected at the LHC have been obtained with p+p collisions, at an energy of 13 TeV in the CM frame, and p+Pb collisions, at an energy of the colliding nucleon pair of 5.2 TeV and 8.1 TeV in the CM frame. A review of the main results of LHCf and of the recent and on-going activities will be presented.
