5 Indirect measurement of cosmic rays It is not possible to directly* measure cosmic rays above 4 ev, but possible indirectly using the cascade shower of daughter particles, i.e. Extensive Air- Shower(EAS). Composition and energy of cosmic rays affect the generation of EAS. hen understanding of high-energy cosmic ray owes to the indirect technique: comparison between the MC simulation of EAS and observation. Largest systematic uncertainty of indirect measurement is caused by the finite understanding of the hadronic interaction of cosmic ray in atmosphere. * direct measurement of cosmic ray < 4 ev is done by balloon, satellite, and ISS.

Smallest dependence on ECMS is found in EPOS and it is consistent with LHCf and UA7. Large ECMS dependence is found in SIBYLL this indicates the prediction at UHE region may differ from at the LHC energy region. 4
15 Conclusions and Future prospects LHCf has measured the energy and transverse momentum spectrum of the forward emitted particles at the 9GeV and 7eV proton-proton collisions. Consistent π spectra are obtained between the Arm and Arm detector. Combined spectra agree with the prediction by EPOS for the p spectra and <p>. Many analyses are ongoing: - Neutron analysis energy flow of EAS and µ at ground - Extends to other meson/baryon (e.g. η, K, Λ) 5

20 Impact on Air-shower production Constraint of the LHCf results to CR observations is estimated by proton-air simulations: - DPMJE outputs are artificially modified to be parallel to the LHCf spectra (split a high-energy π to two low-energy π s) - Modification factor is applied to simulations of the proton-air collision. - EProton is.5x 6 ev, equivalent to the energy in lab frame of p-p collision at s=7ev Results in decrease of ~ g/cm.
