    Lepton identification is the most crucial features of HEP experiments. HERA-B experiment to stady CP violation in the B system Using an Internal Target at the HERA Proton Ring. The main goal of the HERA-B experiment is the CP violation measurement in B0 -> J/psiK0s decays, generally accepted as the best candidate, both theoretically and experimentally, for the study of CP assymetry. Good lepton identification is an inmportant condition of decay reconstruction, lepton tadgging and the additional physics study. The electron identification by Transition Radiation (TR) is realized by the detection of Transition RadiationX-rays which radiated by the charge particles with Lorentz factor more than 1000.

    Monte Carlo simulation of transition readiation (TR) has been made on base of model compatible with GEANT - Detector Description and Simulation Tool. The MC TR model describes the process of particle passing through the matter taking into account: the radiation of transition radiation X-rays including their energy and angular spectra, T R photons absorption including the secondary fluorescent X-ray for the Xe K,L shell, absorption of TR X-rays in radiator and various materials. Detailed simulation of ionization losses in thin gas layers, taking into account the primary collisions distribution, calculation the energy deposition in gas layers, electron s drift with real dependance of drift velosity vs electric field.
