The LHCf experiment is dedicated to the measurement of very forward particle production in the high energy hadron-hadron collisions at LHC, with the aim of improving the cosmic-ray air shower developments models. The detector has taken data in p-p collisions at different center of mass energies, from 900 GeV up to 7 TeV, and in p-Pb collisions at √s=5.02 TeV. The results of forward production spectra of neutrons in p-p collisions and π0in p-Pb collisions, compared with the models most widely used in the High Energy Cosmic Ray physics, are presented in this paper.

Abstract

The LHCf experiment is dedicated to the measurement of very forward particle production in the high energy hadron-hadron collisions at LHC, with the aim of improving the cosmic-ray air shower developments models. The detector has taken data in p-p collisions at different center of mass energies, from 900 GeV up to 7 TeV, and in p-Pb collisions at √s=5.02 TeV. The results of forward production spectra of neutrons in p-p collisions and π0in p-Pb collisions, compared with the models most widely used in the High Energy Cosmic Ray physics, are presented in this paper.
