Popis: Measurements of forward neutrons in pp collisions will allow us to investigate π-p cross-section via one-pion exchange process, which are important for air shower development. However, the precision of these measurements is limited by the energy resolution of the LHCf detectors. To improve it, a joint measurement with the ATLAS ZDC was planned. In 2021, a beam test was conducted to evaluate the performance of the joint measurement of the LHCf-Arm1 and ZDC detectors using proton beams of 350 GeV at SPS. Combining the LHCf data with the ZDC data, we confirmed that the energy resolution improved from about 40% to 21.4%.
