Soft interaction (non-perturbative QCD) dominatesVarious phenomenological models are proposed
(keywords: Regge theory, multi-Pomeron interaction, Glauber theory)Experimental inputs are important
LHC gives the best opportunity

SummaryDetermination of the CR mass (chemical) composition is important to understand the CR origin
LHCf is motivated to constrain the hadronic interaction models used to interpret the cosmic-ray air shower data
Successful operations at LHC p-p and p-Pb collisions
Three physics publications and some ongoing analysis
No surprise so far but set strong constraints to the models
Preparation for the highest energy operation in progress
Discussions for future plan startedRHIC; validation of Feynman scalingRHIC; first light ion collisionLHC; highest energy light ion collision
