Abstract :
Some comparison among a few transport codes for high-energy muons (GEANT, FLUKA and PROPMU), in the framework of the activity of underground experiments for cosmic rays, is performed. A few important differences in the sampling of em interactions and energy-loss calculations have been found. The possible consequences on muon physics are discussed.
