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 show 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.展开更多
