Dichlorodifluoromethane (R-12) has been widely used as a radiator gas in pressure threshold Cherenkov detectors for high-energy particle physics. However, that compound is becoming unavailable due to the Montreal Protocol. To find a replacement with suitably high refractive index, we use a combination of theory and experiment to examine the polarizability and refractivity of several non-ozone-depleting compounds. Our measurements show that the fourth-generation refrigerants R-1234yf (2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene) and R-1234ze(E) (-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene) have sufficient refractivity to replace R-12 in this application. If the slight flammability of these compounds is a problem, two nonflammable alternatives are R-218 (octafluoropropane), which has a high Global Warming Potential, and R-13I1 (trifluoroiodomethane), which has low Ozone Depletion Potential and Global Warming Potential but may not be sufficiently inert.

“…To circumvent the issue of streamer, the partial volume of argon has been reduced by introducing N 2 , which has high electronegativity and chemically less reactive. As photon quencher, we have preferred CO 2 to other alternatives as it has less penning transfer coefficient in a mixture with argon [23] and less GWP [5]. Its non-flammability and cheap cost are added advantages.…”

“…The problem has already been addressed with extensive studies on various gases and their properties in order to find suitable substitutes for operating RPCs in various high energy physics experiments [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. According to these studies, one allotropic form of tetrafluoropropene, C 3 H 2 F 4 (commercially known as HFO1234ze) which is close to R134a in chemical structure, with very low GWP (∼ 6), can be regarded as a potential replacement.…”

Numerical qualification of an eco-friendly alternative gas mixture for avalanche mode operation of Resistive Plate Chambers is the soul of this work. To identify the gas mixture, a numerical model developed elsewhere by the authors has been first established by comparing the simulated figure of merits (efficiency and streamer probability) with the experimental data for the gas mixture used in INO-ICAL. Then it has been used to simulate the same properties of a gas mixture based on argon, carbon di-oxide and nitrogen, identified as potential replacement by studying its different properties. Efficacy of this eco-friendly gas mixture has been studied by comparing the simulated result with the standard gas mixture used in INO-ICAL as well as with experimental data of other eco-friendly hydrofluorocarbon (HFO1234ze) based potential replacements. To increase the efficacy of the proposed gas mixture, studies of the traditional way (addition of a little amount of SF 6 ) and an alternative approach (exploring the option of high-end electronics) were carried out.
