Abstract :
The performance of the cathode strip chambers that will be used for the PHENIX muon tracking system has been simulated. The dependence of the chamber resolution on various chamber characteristics and incident particles will be presented along with our choice of chamber parameters. The expected resolution over the full volume will be shown to be on the order of 85 μm
