28 Summary LHCf has taken data in p-p and p-pb collisions at different energies, results have been published about photon, neutron and π No models represent the data perfectly The identification of diffraction can verify and improve the hadronic interaction models. The efficiency and purity of diffractive event identification by ATLAS-LHCf common operation were estimated. - The efficiency of diffraction identification is approximately %, with 99% purity. LHCf detectors have high sensitivity at log(ξ) < -6 Application of ATLAS veto to the LHCf data purifies low mass diffraction event samples Stay Tuned 28
