Summary 33  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 π 0 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  LHCf is proceeding more analysis, takes more data with p-Pb collisions and 14TeV p-p collisions, and more…
