Abstract	The performance of the ATLAS Forward Proton (AFP) Silicon Tracker detector is studied using the dedicated low-luminosity ATLAS LHC data collected in the 2017 running period of LHC Run 2. A brief description of the AFP spectrometer is given, followed by the discussion of unique opportunities of diffractive physics studies in low pile-up conditions. Additionally, some features of 2017 data are explored, including trigger efficiency and creation of particle showers within the detectors.
