Abstract：
Based on analysis of STAR-TOFr data from RHIC 62.4GeV Au+Au experiments, correlation between the MRPC signal amplitude (ADC) and the ionization energy loss (dE/dx) in working gas, for different particles (Pion, Kaon, Proton), are studied. Experimental results on characteristics of particle ionization and avalanche process in MRPC are presented. In order to further understand the working mechanism of MRPC, a Monte Carlo simulation procedure is carried out. Possible factors contributing to the performance of MRPC are discussed.
