Description

The Endcap Time of Flight of BESIII(Beijing Spectrometer III) was upgraded with the Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC), and time resolution was required better than 100 ps. The cosmic ray test was carried out for the MRPC detectors gathered with the new designed electronics. In the cosmic ray test the construction quality and joint operation of whole detector system were checked, and the performance of the detectors could be guaranteed. During the test, the noise rate and time measurement method are examined specifically.
