This paper presents the performance of the ATLAS muon reconstruction during the LHC run with Formula: see text collisions at Formula: see text-8 TeV in 2011-2012, focusing mainly on data collected in 2012. Measurements of the reconstruction efficiency and of the momentum scale and resolution, based on large reference samples of Formula: see text, Formula: see text and Formula: see text decays, are presented and compared to Monte Carlo simulations. Corrections to the simulation, to be used in physics analysis, are provided. Over most of the covered phase space (muon Formula: see text and Formula: see text GeV) the efficiency is above Formula: see text and is measured with per-mille precision. The momentum resolution ranges from Formula: see text at central rapidity and for transverse momentum Formula: see text GeV, to Formula: see text at large rapidity and Formula: see text GeV. The momentum scale is known with an uncertainty of Formula: see text to Formula: see text depending on rapidity. A method for the recovery of final state radiation from the muons is also presented.
