Abstract：
The application of dE/dx method for e/π identification to the measurement of the mass of τ heavy lepton by Beijing Spectrometer(BES) operated at Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) is described.With this method,the efficiency of selecting the eμ events from decaying from τ⁺τ^－ is increased by a factor of more than 3 compared with using traditional e/π identification by electromagnetic shower measurement.It results in not only that the loss of the eμ events in off-line selection is reduced,but also that the amount of the time needed to run the BES/BEPC for data collection and computer CPU time for data off-line processing is reduced by ～75% for selecting the same number of τ⁺τ^－ events.
