Abstract

The transition radiation tracker of the ATLAS setup, which is one of the two multipurpose detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), its design, and the tasks it performs are described. The tracker is fully assembled and commissioned. The first physical results obtained by the tracker in the ATLAS cosmic muon runs are presented.
