Abstract: The HERA-B experiment is designed to study beauty particle production and decay using the HERA 920 GeV proton beam interactions with an internal target. The Muon detector provides identification for muons having momenta greater than 5 GeV/c and triggering on the muon pair from J/ψ decay. Three different chamber types are employed for operation in a high-rate environment. The overall design, performance and current status are discussed.
