TL;DR
This paper investigates eco-friendly gas mixtures based on HFO for RPC detectors, aiming to replace high-GWP gases like C₂H₂F₄ while maintaining detector performance.
Contribution
It presents experimental results on detector efficiency and charge characteristics using new environmentally friendly gas mixtures for RPCs.
Findings
Eco-friendly HFO-based mixtures achieve comparable efficiency to traditional gases.
Certain mixtures show reduced ionic charge, indicating lower environmental impact.
Performance metrics meet operational standards for RPCs.
Abstract
The ATLAS RPC standard mixture, mainly based on CHF, has a high Global Warming Potential (GWP) and therefore the search for RPC eco friendly gases is mandatory. In this work we present the results on the detector performances in terms of efficiency, prompt and ionic charge, with different gas mixtures.
