  The main aim of the LHCf experiment is to provide precise measurements of the
production spectra relative to neutral particle produced by high energy
proton-ion collisions in the very forward region. This information is necessary
in order to test and tune hadronic interaction models used by ground-based
cosmic rays experiments. In order to reach this goal, LHCf makes use of two
small sampling calorimeters installed in the LHC tunnel at $\pm 140$ m from
IP1, able to detect neutral particles having pseudo-rapidity $\eta > 8.4$. In
this paper we will present the current status of the LHCf experiment, regarding
in particular the first analysis results from data taking relative to p-p
collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV.
