outline Chinese RHIC-STAR Group TOFr and Physics Results Impact of Chinese RHIC-STAR Group Physics with Full TOF Project Conclusion Major Milestones of STAR-China TOF Project CCNU and IHEP joined STAR collaboration in 1999 for TOFp; SINAP, USTC, Tsinghua and IMP joined STAR collaboration in Oct. 2001. USTC team began MRPC R&D in Aug. 2000 with the supports of NSFC, STAR and other Chinese collaboration institutions. Joined in US/PRC Cooperative Agreement on High Energy Physics since 2001 (22nd Meeting) Prototype MRPC (multi-gap resistive plate) time-of-flight detectors, produced jointly between USTC and Rice Univ. and operated successfully in STAR (2002-3 and 2003-4 RHIC runs). Physics results on identified particle spectra and on semi-leptonic charm decays have been published. Approval of "RHIC-STAR Physics and the Construction of Barrel STAR-TOF” by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Sept 10, 2004, Budget: 1.5M USD) Approval of the STAR TOF upgrade proposal by BNL Technical Advisory Committee and Submission of the Proposal to DOE (July 2004) Technical Review of proposal by DOE, planned Aug. 2005 Suppose DOE approval in Oct. 2005, full construction start October 2005 MRPC TOF Barrel R&D Impact of Chinese RHIC-STAR Collaboration Organizing International workshop Host: Aug 2002: 1st International CCAST Summer School and Workshop on “QCD and RHIC Physics” in CCAST-WL, Beijing.
