“…The usage of HFO alone is not suitable since its effective Townsend coefficient is lower than TFE and this would shift the detectors WP to values which exceed the limits (7). In order to avoid such a problem, it is necessary to add a fraction of CO 2 , which would decrease the working voltage of the detectors, without affecting the other components of the mixture and keeping a low GWP index.…”

“…The mixture has zero ozone-depletion potential and a global warming potential below 1, over a span of 100 years. Simulations of RPCs that operate with various gas mixtures, which include R-1234ze, have shown encouraging results, although further studies are still required [227,228].…”

The climate crisis and the degradation of the world's ecosystems require humanity to take immediate action. The international scientific community has a responsibility to limit the negative environmental impacts of basic research. The HECAP+ communities (High Energy Physics, Cosmology, Astroparticle Physics, and Hadron and Nuclear Physics) make use of common and similar experimental infrastructure, such as accelerators and observatories, and rely similarly on the processing of big data. Our communities therefore face similar challenges to improving the sustainability of our research. This document aims to reflect on the environmental impacts of our work practices and research infrastructure, to highlight best practice, to make recommendations for positive changes, and to identify the opportunities and challenges that such changes present for wider aspects of social responsibility.

“…Several new gases are being actively considered to replace them, experiments and numerical simulations being conducted towards this goal. Among the potential candidates, tetrafluoropropene (trade name of hydro-fluoro-olefine HFO-1234ze) is among the most promising ones [21,22]. Several numerical studies have been conducted for RPCs [23] that has resulted into different options of eco-friendly gas mixtures.…”

A variety of sophisticated radiation detectors is used in laboratory and fieldbased experiments related to particle physics, nuclear physics and related branches of science and technology. Many of these experiments are curiosity driven, while some of them have social applications. In this letter, we will discuss some of the prominent gaseous ionization detectors and their possible adaptation towards a sustainable future. Recent experimental and numerical research in the use of environment friendly gas mixtures to be used in such detectors will be covered in some detail. In addition, their application in sustainable and socially relevant technologies will be briefly mentioned.
