Abstract

Ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) have been studied by extensive air shower experiments such as AGASA, HiRes and AUGER. However implication of their data depends on model of air shower development at such high energy where yet no experimental verification is available. The LHCf experiment will provide unique data to calibrate existing hadron interaction models at 1017 eV in the very forward region which will reduce model uncertainty in UHECR experiments. Experimental overview and expected results are presented.
