A single vertical beam halo collimation system has been installed in the ATF2 beamline to reduce the background that could limit the precision of the diagnostics located in the post-IP beamline. On this paper the commissioning and first performance studies of a single vertical beam halo collimation system are reported. Furthermore realistic efficiency studies have been done using the simulation code BDSIM and compared with the first experimental tests.
