Studies of eco-friendly gas mixtures for RPC detectors

In the context of climate change, one of the main contributors to global warming is the greenhouse effect. Regulations have been implemented in different areas of society to reduce or ban the use of Greenhouse Gases (GHG), such as Tetrafluoroethane (TFE). Despite the fact that large-scale experiment...

Zusammenfassung:In the context of climate change, one of the main contributors to global warming is the greenhouse effect. Regulations have been implemented in different areas of society to reduce or ban the use of Greenhouse Gases (GHG), such as Tetrafluoroethane (TFE). Despite the fact that large-scale experiments (such as the ones held at CERN) have been excluded from these restrictions, it is necessary to look for alternatives more eco-friendly to the environment. In this work we present performance studies for RPC detectors using eco-friendly gas mixtures tested at the Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF++) at CERN in the context of the Phase II upgrade of the CMS detector.
