Abstract :
The Belle experiment at the KEKB has collected beam collision data from June 1st through August 4th, 1999, integrated luminosity during this period is 25 pb-1, and the data contain approximately 10,000 e+e-→μ+μ$events and 50,000 hadronic events. Using those events, we study the performance of endcap RPC modules in the Belle detector. The study shows that the endcap RPC modules perform quite well in detecting muons and KL 0 mesons
