We have successfully formed the joint analysis group of two LHC experiments, LHCf and ATLAS, for this unique measurement of proton-pion interaction study using proton-proton collisions. To understanding each experiment before going to this measurement, a simpler analysis has been performed, which is for measurement of diffractive-collision contribution on the forward photon production. Diffractive collisions are one of the main processes of proton-proton collisions. In these events, few particle are produced in the central region of collisions. Selecting no charged particle detection in the ATLAS detector, we analyzed LHCf photon events. Analysis of proton-pion interaction measurement is on-going and we will publish the result soon.
