Abstract :
The TOTEM T2 telescope, consisting in 40 triple-GEM (Gas Electron Multiplier) detectors with tracking and trigger capabilities, will measure inelastically produced charged particles in the forward region of the LHC Interaction Point 5. Before being fully installed, the telescope has been tested with cosmic rays and the results are here presented.
