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 root s = 5.02 TeV. The results of forward production spectra of neutrons in p-p collisions and pi(0) in 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 root s = 5.02 TeV. The results of forward production spectra of neutrons in p-p collisions and pi(0) in p-Pb collisions, compared with the models most widely used in the High Energy Cosmic Ray physics, are presented in this paper.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
