The main goal of the Muon Spectrometer of the ALICE experiment is the
measurement of heavy quarks in pp, pA and AA collisions at LHC energies, via
the muonic channel. Physics motivations, the apparatus and its physics
performances are presented in this talk.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures. Talk presented in Phase transitions in strongly
