Tidal disruption of dark matter halos around proto-globular clusters in a halo of a small galaxy is studied in the context of the hierarchical clustering scenario by using semi-cosmological N-body/SPH simulations assuming the standard cold dark matter model ($\Omega_0 = 1$). Our analysis on formation and evolution of the galaxy and its substructures archives until $z = 2.0$. In such a high-redshift universe, the Einstein-de Sitter universe is still a good approximation for a recently favored $\Lambda$-dominated universe, and then our results does not depend on the choice of cosmology. In order to resolve small gravitationally-bound clumps around galaxies and consider radiative cooling below $T = 10^4 K$, we adopt a fine mass resolution ($m_{\rm SPH} = 1.12 \times 10^3 \Msun$). Because of the cooling, each clump immediately forms a `core-halo' structure which consists of a baryonic core and a dark matter halo. The tidal force from the host galaxy mainly strips the dark matter halo from clumps and, as a result, theses clumps get dominated by baryons. Once a clump is captured by the host halo, its mass drastically decreases each pericenter passage. At $z = 2$, more than half of the clumps become baryon dominated systems (baryon mass/total mass $> 0.5$). Our results support the tidal evolution scenario of the formation of globular clusters and baryon dominated dwarf galaxies in the context of the cold dark matter universe.
