Abstract

A prototype of multi-gap resistive plate chamber (MRPC) modules with 6 gas gaps of 220 μm used for the time-of-flight (TOF) detectors has been developed by STAR TOF group. A tray (TOFr) composed of 28 MRPC modules was constructed and operated in STAR for the d+Au collisions and Au+Au collisions during 2003 RHIC and 2004 RHIC run. Results shqw its time resolution is 85 ps with the average efficiency of 95% and clear identification of K/π up to 1.6 GeV and proton/K up to 3.0 GeV.
