Description
RPCs have traditionally used a gas mixture with a high Global Warming Potential (GWP). To reduce the environmental impact, promising low-GWP gases and the addition of CO2 to the standard mixture have been explored on small 50 x 50 cm^2 RPC prototypes using a 1 mm single-gap HPL-based technology. Preliminary measurements of key performance metrics like efficiency, streamer probability, induced charge, cluster size, and time resolution are presented, highlighting their impact on detector performance and potential broader applications.
