Abstract：
The application of the dE/dx method for e/π identification of the measurement of the mass of τ heavy lepton by Beijing Spectrometer (BES) operated at Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) is described. With additional dE/dx information, the efficiency of selecting the eμ events from τ⁺τ^- is increased more than three-fold compared to that with traditional e/π identification by electromagnetic shower measurement alone. This results in not only reduction of the loss of the eμ events in off-line selection, but also in a 75% reduction of the amount of the time needed to run the BES/BEPC for data collection and computer CPU time for data off-line processing for selecting the same number of τ⁺τ^- events.
