Abstract
The measurement of the residual energy spectrum of secondary muons in the TeV region can offer new experimental opportunities in cosmic ray physics. We present a large area transition radiation detector (TRD) o f 36 m(2) active area, partially installed since april 1994 on the und erground MACRO detector in order to accomplish such a measurement. Fir st results compared with a Monte Carlo simulation are reported.
