The aim of the LHC forward (LHCf) experiment is to provide critical data to test and tune hadronic interaction models used for very high energy cosmic-ay interactions. LHCf measures neutral particles, photons, neutrinos and pi0s, at very forward region of LHC collisions, and these energetic particles significantly contribute air shower development induced by cosmic-rays. LHCf had several...

A proton-oxygen run at the LHC would be a unique opportunity to reproduce the collision of a cosmic ray with a light nucleus of the atmosphere. The LHCf experiment will have the possibility to perform direct measurements of the very-forward neutral particle production and the nuclear modification factor without the need of an interpolation of the results in proton-proton and proton-lead...

In detailed air shower simulations, the uncertainty in the prediction of shower observable for different primary particles and energies is currently dominated by differences between hadronic interaction models. With the general results of the first run of the LHC, the difference between post-LHC model predictions has been reduced at the same level than experimental uncertainties of cosmic ray...
