Muons are a promising probe for new physics. In order to efficiently detect muons and measure their properties with high precision, the ATLAS detector has a Muon Spectrometer composed of toroidal magnets, a precision tracker (|η| < 2.7) and trigger chambers (|η| < 2.4). The target performance is to trigger muons with PT > 6 GeV from 40 MHz proton-proton collisions, and to measure their momentum with an accuracy of 2-3% for PT < 100 GeV, and under 10% up to PT = 1 TeV. Since the completion of the detector installation in August, 2008, 400 M cosmic ray events and 8 k single proton beam events have been collected. We report on the detector performance and show that we are very close to the design performance before the start of LHC collision data-taking.
