Sumario:ATLAS is being complemented with detectors to measure elastic scattering at small angles. This will give a possibility both to measure the total cross section and make an absolute luminosity calibration of the Luminosity monitors of ATLAS. The principle of the measurement, the experimental requirements and the detector performances found in a 2008 test-beam are presented in this article.
