Abstract
ATLAS is one of the four detectors that will be exposed to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beams. Since high-momentum final-state muons are amongst the most promising and robust signatures of physics at the LHC, the ATLAS detector features a high-resolution muon spectrometer with stand-alone triggering. This paper is intended to describe the ATLAS muon system and its capability to identify and measure the muon momentum over a wide range of transverse momentum, pseudorapidity and azimuthal angle. Moreover experimental activities at CERN H8 area will be described and results about muon system performances will be given.
