Among RHIC experiments, PHENIX has a unique capability to detect muons from the collision events. The muon tracking system is designed to provide a high resolution momentum measurement and can be operated at both high collision rate and in a high multiplicity environment. This will significantly enhance our physics capability in both heavy ion and polarized p-p programs, particularly in the area of Drell-Yan, J/Psi and other heavy quark measurements. The first muon tracking system (south arm) of the PHENIX experiment was successfully installed in early 2001 and commissioned during the 2001-2002 run. It has been fully integrated into the PHENIX experiment and successfully collected a significant amount of data from both heavy ion Au-Au and polarized p-p collisions at √ s = 200 A GeV. The performance of the muon tracking system will be discussed with preliminary results.
