The Large Hadron Collider forward (LHCf) experiment measures forward neutral particles to improve hadronic interaction models adopted in cosmic-ray air shower simulations. In September 2022, we plan to perform data-taking on proton–proton collisions. We expect statistics that are a factor of 10 greater than those of the previous operation in 2015 for 𝜋0 and 𝜂 mesons. Moreover, we plan to conduct a joint operation with the ATLAS zero-degree calorimeter. Improvements in energy resolution for hadrons from this joint operation will allow us to select the one-pion exchange process. In this work, we report the prospects for the LHCf operation in 2022.

Abstract
The Large Hadron Collider forward (LHCf) experiment measures forward neutral particles to improve hadronic interaction models adopted in cosmic-ray air shower simulations. In September 2022, we plan to perform data-taking on proton–proton collisions. We expect statistics that are a factor of 10 greater than those of the previous operation in 2015 for 𝜋0 and 𝜂 mesons. Moreover, we plan to conduct a joint operation with the ATLAS zero-degree calorimeter. Improvements in energy resolution for hadrons from this joint operation will allow us to select the one-pion exchange process. In this work, we report the prospects for the LHCf operation in 2022.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
