Abstract
Using a high-energy muon beam at Fermilab, we have made measurements o f frequency, multiplicity, spatial and angular distributions of charge d particles accompanying muons after they have traversed an iron absor ber. Effects of several other materials (Al, Pb, G-10, Lucite) placed at various locations downstream of the absorber were also studied. Mea surements were made at muon beam energies 94, 360, 480 and 560 GeV. Ex perimental data are compared to GEANT 3.21 Monte-Carlo simulations. GE ANT parameter settings for matching the experimental data are investig ated.
