On a new environment-friendly gas mixture for Resistive Plate Chambers
G. Proto, B. Liberti, R. Santonico +9
This paper studies the performance of RPCs working with a new family of environment-friendly operating gases, mainly based on Carbon Dioxide and Hydro-Fluoro-Olefins. The tests are…
New Facilities for the Production of 1 mm gap Resistive Plate Chambers for the Upgrade of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer
F. Fallavollita, O. Kortner, H. Kroha +5
