Forward physics with the LHCf experiment: a LHC contribution to cosmic-ray physics

LHCf is a small detector installed at LHC accelerator to measure neutral particle flow in the forward direction of proton -proton (p - p) and proton -nucleus (p - A) interactions. Thanks to the optimal performance that has characterized the last years’ running of the LHC collider, several measuremen...
