Abstract
Indirect measurements of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) strongly depend on the hadronic interaction models used to simulate the interaction of a high energy cosmic ray with the atmosphere and thus the Extensive Air Shower (EAS). Different models bring to significantly different interpretations of the ground cosmic-ray measurements. The LHCf (Large Hadron Collider forward) experiment is a calorimetric experiment at LHC for the measurement of production rate of neutral particles in the forward region. The target of the experiment is to provide data in the forward region at high energy for testing and tuning the different hadronic models. In LHC Run 2, LHCf acquired data in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV. With these data we have measured for the first time the production rate of η mesons in the forward region at high energy. In this paper we will present the η production rate measurement, and we will compare it with different hadronic models typically used by UHECR experiments.
