Abstract
The Layer Oriented WaveFront Sensor (LOWFS) for the MAD experiment has been integrated on the MAD bench in May 2006 after a re-alignment phase, both performed at ESO (Garching). In June it was aligned to the MAD bench taking particular care to make coinciding the F/20 focal plane of the bench with the entering focal plane of the sensor. While July has been used mainly for software debugging at the end of September started the actual testing phase. In this report, we present the tests to evaluate the performance of MAD in Single Conjugate Adaptive Optics (SCAO), Ground Layer Adaptive Optics (GLAO), and Multi Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) mode. We studied also the influence of the source magnitude on the performance, even if only in SCAO mode.
