Abstract :
The ATLAS muon spectrometer is arguably the largest precision instrument ever constructed in the field of high energy particle physics, we describe the methods used to include the geometrical factors impacting the momentum measurement of high energetic muons in the ATLAS offline software. These include geometrical mis-alignment, chamber deformation and wire sagging.
