Abstract
Multi-gap resistive plate chamber (MRPC) has been adopted to construct the full barrel time-of-flight (TOF) detector for the STAR experiment at RHIC. The cylindrical TOF covers a total area of approximately 64 m2 and uses 4032 MRPC modules. 70% of the modules were produced in Tsinghua University and the rest were fabricated in University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). In this paper, the production facilities, manufacturing procedures, quality control methods and test results for the Tsinghua MRPC modules are described.
