Abstract
In this paper, we report the production cross-section of forward photons in
the pseudorapidity regions of η > 10.94 and 8.99 > η > 8.81,
measured by the LHCf experiment with proton--proton collisions at √(s) =
13 TeV. The results from the analysis of 0.191 nb^-1 of data
obtained in June 2015 are compared to the predictions of several hadronic
interaction models that are used in air-shower simulations for
ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. Although none of the models agree perfectly with
the data, EPOS-LHC shows the best agreement with the experimental data among
the models.
