Speaker
Description
Resistive Plate Chamber detectors in HEP are usually operated in avalanche mode, with a high-performance high-GWP gas mixture based on C2H2F4 and SF6.
The RPC ECOGas@GIF++ Collaboration is carrying on an intense R&D activity devoted to search for new eco-friendly gas mixtures for RPCs, complying with recent European regulations, and assessing their performance in different irradiation conditions on a long-term time scale.
Different Resistive Plate Chambers, flushed with a HFO 1234ze-CO2 based gas mixture, have been exposed to high particle rates at the CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF++). During a 3 years-long ageing campaign, they have integrated O(100 mC/cm2) and have been systematically subjected to performance evaluation by dedicated beam tests in order to study possible effects of ageing.
In this talk, results on these studies together with their future perspectives will be presented.
