  27. Playing a game with air shower (effect of forward meson spectra) • DPMJET3 always overpredicts production • Filtering DPMJET3 mesons • according to an empirical probability function, divide mesons into two with keeping pT • Fraction of mesons escape out of LHCf acceptance • This process • Holds cross section • Holds elasticity/inelasticity • Holds energy conservation • Changes multiplicity • Does not conserve charge event-by-event pT E1 E2 E=E1+E2 xF = E/E0 xF = E/E0

  29. Future • Neutron spectra in 7TeV p-p … analysis on going • 4TeV/Z p-Pb… data taking on going • Joint analysis with ATLAS … data ready • 14 TeV p-p in 2015 … detector upgrade on going • Light nuclei at LHC, RHIC??? … possibility in discussion

  33. Summary • Experiments at LHC provide useful data to calibrate CR interaction models • LHCf is a dedicated experiment to measure forward particles effective to the air shower development • LHCf completed operation at 900GeV and 7TeV p-p collisions and published photon and π0 spectra • None of the models perfectly describe the LHCf results, but models well bracket the experiment (this is generally true for the other LHC results). • No sizable collision energy dependence is so far found • Forward meson spectra is effective in <Xmax> • LHCf is proceeding more analysis, takes more data with p-Pb collisions and 14TeV p-p collisions, and more…
