The environmentally friendly refrigerant HFO1234ze(E) is a promising alternative to substitute R134a in the standard mixture operating in gaseous particle detectors. Finding the optimal mixture concentration in terms of detector performance is based on simulations, which require the electron molecule cross sections as input. Cross sections can be deduced from the electron transport...

90. Simulating MRPCs with Garfield++ and time-dependent weighting potentials

The current operation of the Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) system within the CMS experiment involves tetrafluoroethane (C2H2F4, TFE) and SF6. However, in response to climate change concerns, the European Union has instituted a ban on these molecules due to their high Global Warming Potential (GWP).

As a result, researchers have been dedicated to investigating novel ecological gas mixtures...

36. Theoretical Time Cost to Distinguish Special Nuclear Materials in Different Scenarios through MPRC-ToF based MST

Muon scattering tomography (MST), which has gained significant attention in recent years, is a novel radiation imaging technique evolving into two research directions: rapid inspection and detailed imaging. Increasing research shows that fully utilizing the momentum information of muons is essential to achieve satisfactory results for both two directions. MRPC (Multi-gap Resistive Plate...
