ABSTRACT SUBMITTED BY  THE ATLAS-MUON-SPEAKERS-COMMITTEE ON BEHALF OF THE ATLAS MUON COMMUNITY
THE SPEAKER NAME CAN ONLY BE COMMUNICATED AFTER THE SELECTION DONE UPON ACCEPTANCE OF THE CONTRIBUTION

After successfully completing Phase I upgrades during LHC Long Shutdown 2, the ATLAS detector is back in operation with several upgrades implemented. The most important and challenging upgrade is in the Muon Spectrometer, where the two inner forward muon stations have been replaced with the New Small Wheels (NSW) system. One of the two detector technologies used in the NSW are the resistive Micromegas (MM).
After massive construction, testing and installation work in ATLAS, the Micromegas are now fully operational in the experiment participating in the muon spectrometer tracking and trigger systems. A huge effort has gone into the operation of the new data acquisition system, as well as the implementation of a new processing chain within the muon software framework.
Tracking is performed with full consideration of the absolute alignment of each individual detector module by the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer optical alignment system. All the deviations from the nominal geometry of all the constituent elements of each MM module are accounted for through the modelling of the real chamber geometry reconstructed from the information of the construction databases.
After an overview of the strategies adopted for the simulations and reconstruction, the studies on the performance of the MM in LHC run-3 data taken from 2022 to 2024 will be reported.
