ALFA : Absolute Luminosity Measurement
Each “RP” is a 20x20mm mini tracker made of 10 planes of staggered scintillating fibers in U and V directions, plus 2 scintillating plates covering the tracking area for producing trigger signals
Two small trackers symmetrically placed around the proton beam, the detector to beam distance can be as low as 1.5mm. Measure the elastic beam scattering at very low distance of the beam.

No light HV ON Light ~1p.e.HV 950V
Electronics commissioning was performed on the 8 systems just before installation and repeated after installation

Electrical test stand : one charge signal injected in one channel. The method was used to verify the channel mapping for DAQ reconstruction
LED test stand : one long distance LED (about 1m and light diffuser) is used to illuminate all channels. In this plot one PMF “row” is not operational, as well as a 3 other PMTs (HV off)

Internal LED pulser : light is passing through leaks in the optical connectors. More light at the center (where the LED is located). Test on one RP system after its installation in the tunnel.

• All 8 pots fully operational right after installation in January 2011
• The track signals charge measurement will be installed during 2011 winter shut down (firmware update)
• Connections to the ATLAS CTP and trigger signals timing adjustment performed after installation (commissioning still going on, insertion to the Level 1 ATLAS trigger system)
• Some specific LHC runs with low beta angle are used to commission the detector for physics (in coordination with TOTEM)
