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 C2F4H2 and C2F5H. In order to explain the data we propose that the avalanche growth is strongly limited by space charge effects.
