37 Summary Synergy btw UHECR and LHC is so important to solve UHECR problems and to explore ultra high E interactions at beyond-lhc. Key parameters for understanding air showers, σ inel, forward spectra, inelasticity, multiplicity, P T should be measured in various energy ranges. First TOTEM σ inel LHCf forward spectra Recent progress in various energy range (i.e. NA61, HARP, etc.) Striking impacts on UHECR analysis has been given by recent LHC data as well as legacy data by various accelerator experiments. Stay tuned. Nuclear effects (QGP, shadowing, etc.) not address here are also important. LHC A-A, p-a run will be able to address it. 37
