Abstract: (WSP)

Large Hadron Collider forward (LHCf) has successfully completed the operation during the LHC 2009–2010 period and the detectors were removed in July 2010. The event trigger, data analysis and background have been intensively studied in order to derive inclusive single photon and π0 spectra. In this paper, the details of these intensive studies are described.
