Prospects and Results from the AFP Detector in ATLAS

Abstract

In 2016 one arm of the AFP detector was installed and first data have been taken. In parallel with integration of the AFP subdetector into the ATLAS TDAQ and DCS systems, beam tests and preparations for the installation of the 2${}^{\text{nd}}$ arm are performed. In this report, a status of the AFP project in the ATLAS experiment is discussed.
