                      (ATLAS Forward Proton) project. The latest version consists
                      of solid L-shaped fused silica bars, new customized
                      ALD-coated micro-channel plate photomultipliers (MCP-PMTs)
                      miniPlanacon XPM85112-S-R2D2 with an extended lifetime which
                      operate at low gains (order of 103), and an updated
                      construction. The improvements were aimed to increase the
                      efficiency, the lifetime as well as the radiation hardness
                      of the detector which has been designed to operate in high
                      radiation areas (above 400 kGy/year). The detector was
                      finally tested at the CERN-SPS test-beam facility (120 GeV
                      π+ particles) in August 2021 prior to its installation at
                      the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Measurements proved
                      the detector kept its inner timing resolution of 20 ps
                      despite the rather low gain of its photodetector and reduced
                      optical throughput caused by inevitable changes in the
                      detector geometry.},
