TL;DR
This study investigates how water vapor affects glass RPCs in avalanche mode, showing performance deterioration with wet gas and recovery after reverting to standard gas, highlighting the importance of gas purity.
Contribution
It provides experimental insights into the impact of water vapor on RPC performance, a previously less explored aspect in detector operation.
Findings
Water vapor causes performance deterioration in RPCs.
Performance recovers after switching back to standard gas.
Controlled water vapor addition impacts RPC operation.
Abstract
We studied the effect of water vapor on the performance of glass Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) in the avalanche mode operation. Controlled and calibrated amount of water vapor was added to the RPC gas mixture that has CHF as the major component. The deterioration in the performance of RPC was observed while operating with wet gas and recovered after switching to standard gas.
