Description

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, such as freon. Despite the fact that large-scale experiments (such as the ones held at CERN) have been excluded from these restrictions, as a scientific community, we have the duty to look for alternatives more eco-friendly to the environment. In this work, we perform stability and aging studies for RPC detectors, tested at the Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF++) at CERN, using eco-friendly gas mixtures in the context of the Phase II upgrade of the CMS detector.
