Sumario:The Large Hadron Collider forward (LHCf) experiment is a special purpose experiment dedicated to measure the production of neutral particles at the very forward region of the LHC. The data are useful to verify hadronic interaction that influence the development of an air shower. Until now data have been obtained for p-p collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 0.9$ and 7 TeV and p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 5.02$ TeV/n. Here we will discuss the energy spectra for gamma rays, $\pi^{0}$s and neutrons from the obtained data. In addition we will also discuss the prospects of 13 TeV p-p collisions as well as that for the possible future measurement of p-p or p-light ions collision data in the very forward region at RHIC or at LHC.
