Description
LHCf (Large Hadron Collider forward) is a dedicated experiment to measure the
neutral particles emitted around zero degree of LHC interactions. Energy and Pt
spectra of photons, pi-zero and neutral hadrons at such forward region are crucial
to qualify the existing interaction models and to improve them for cosmic-ray physics.
From the end of 2009, LHCf has successfully taken data at LHC collisions at sqrt(s)=
0.9 and 7TeV. In this presentation, the first results of LHCf mainly obtained since
April 2010 will be presented together with the prediction of various interaction
models.
