Abstract

It is necessary to operate the resistive plate chamber (RPC) in avalanche mode to obtain high efficiency at elevated particle fluxes. We examine this mode of operation with a 2 mm gap RPC using gas mixtures containing C 2F 4H 2 and C 2F 5H. In order to explain the data we propose that the avalanche growth is strongly limited by space charge effects.
