Abstract

Properties of the exclusive jet production process are briefly described. A need for a dedicated trigger algorithms for studies of such process in the LHC experiments is explained. Influence of the machine luminosity leveling -- a change of the betatron function and crossing angle -- on the scattered proton position in the AFP is discussed. Finally, impact of pile-up and optics on the expected algorithm efficiency is estimated.
