Abstract
The performance of a drift tube prototype in a 0.5 TeV/c muon beam was studied. Presented is a comparison of experimental data with a GEANT simulation in order to determine the validity of the Monte Carlo in si mulating the detector performance in the presence of the electromagnet ic contamination associated with high energy muons. The Monte Carlo si mulation generally was with few exceptions in 30% or better agreement with the data.
