Abstract：
We present the results of an aging test on two six-gap multi-gap resistive plate chambers (MRPC) designed for the RHIC-STAR TOF system. The test was carried out with a 100mCi ⁶⁰Co γ ray source. MRPCs were irradiated by different dose rates of the source. One module has been irradiated by high dose rate (2.87×10 ^－2Gy/h)for 24h. Great degradation of noise rate, dark current and other main specifications can be seen. Another module has been irradiated for 530h by relative lower dose rate of 5.31×10 ^－4Gy/h and no any significant performance degradation is observed. The goal of the test is to study the performance varaition of the detector by the large irradiation dose expected in the experiment in several years of operation.
