Description
The “ATLAS Forward Proton (AFP) detectors” is a project of upgrading
the ATLAS experiment with additional detectors allowing measurements
of the forward protons scattered diffractively or electromagnetically.
A general overview of the AFP detector system and its capabilities
will be given. The AFP physics programme will be discussed, including
soft diffraction, hard inclusive diffraction, exclusive diffraction
and exotics studies in two-photon exchange processes. Finally, the
current status of the project will be presented.
