Abstract: The High Energy cosmic-Radiation Detection facility (HERD)is a calorimetry-based cosmic-ray detection mission on board Chinaspace station. A side-on transition radiation detector (TRD) focuseson the TeV energy range calibration of the HERD calorimeter with anerror of less than 10% by measuring the Lorentz factor γ ofhigh-energy cosmic-ray protons. A side-on TRD prototype wasdeveloped for the performance study and tested by DeutschesElektronen-Synchrotron electron beams. In this paper, the MonteCarlo simulation based on GEANT4 was compared with the experimentresults. All simulations were in good agreement with the test beamresults.
