Abstract
The ATLAS experiment has extensive charged particle tracking over full azimuth and within vertical bar eta vertical bar { 2.5. The performance of this system is illustrated and some of the first results for pp collisions are presented.
The prospects for tracking in the expected high-multiplicity heavy ion environment are shortly commented. The tracking performance within jets, which is essential for the measurement of jet fragmentation functions, will also be shortly presented.
