Abstract	The Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) is the outermost tracking detector of the ATLAS experiment. In addition as functioning as a tracking detector, it is capable of providing particle identification information, through the emission, and subsequent absorbtion and detection of transition radition. Below the effort of simulating transition radition production and detector response is discussed, with emphasis on the data/simulation resemblance and tuning.
