      abstract     = {The identification of gamma-ray-induced air showers with
                      Cherenkov telescopes suffers from contamination with a
                      specific class of cosmic-ray-induced air showers. The
                      predictions for this background show strong discrepancies
                      between the available event generators. In this study, we
                      identify collision events of cosmic rays with atmospheric
                      nuclei in which a large fraction of the original beam energy
                      is transmitted to the electromagnetic part of the shower as
                      the main source for this background. Consequently, we define
                      a pseudorapidity region of interest for hadron collider
                      experiments that corresponds to this background, taking into
                      account the center-of-mass energy. This region of interest
                      is compared with the available datasets and the
                      pseudorapidity coverage of the detectors that recorded it.
                      We find that the LHCf and RHICf detectors are the only ones
                      covering substantial parts of this region of interest and
                      suggest a measurement of the energy spectra of reconstructed
                      neutral pions to be made with this data. Such results could
                      serve as valuable constraints for future parameter tuning of
                      the event generators to improve the background estimation
