Description:
  'The differential cross sections for inclusive neutral pions as a function of transverse
  and longitudinal momentum in the very forward-rapidity region have been measured at the LHC
  with the LHC forward detector in proton-proton collisions at $s=2.76$ and $7\,$TeV and in
  proton-lead collisions at nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energies of $s_{\rm NN}=5.02\,$TeV.
  Such differential cross sections in proton-proton collisions are compatible with the
  hypotheses of limiting fragmentation and Feynman scaling. Comparing proton-proton with proton-lead
  collisions, we find a sizeable suppression of the production of neutral pions in the
  differential cross sections after subtraction of ultraperipheral proton-lead collisions.
  This suppression corresponds to the nuclear modification factor value of about $0.1-0.3$.
  The experimental measurements presented in this paper provide a benchmark for the hadronic
  interaction Monte Carlo simulation codes that are used for the simulation of cosmic-ray air showers.
  Beam energy must be specified as analysis option "ENERGY" when rivet-merging samples.'
