However implication of their data depends on model of air shower development at such high energy where yet no experimental verification is available. The LHCf experiment will provide unique data to calibrate existing hadron interaction models at 10**17 eV in the very forward region which will reduce model uncertainty in UHECR experiments. Experimental overview and expected results are presented.}, pages = {206--210}, title = {Verification of hadron interaction models of cosmic rays at 10**17 eV by the LHCf experiment}, volume = {1040}, year = {2008} }
