论文摘要
缓解人类引起的气候变化对于人类的可持续性至关重要。为此，RPC社区在过去十年中付出了巨大的努力，以减少探测器的温室气体排放。其中包括寻找新的环保气体，实施恢复和/或再循环系统，改善gastightness，并使用探测器构想和操作中的新材料和方法来降低气体流量。 沿着这项工作，我们在这里提出了一个RPC架构，旨在大幅度降低用于低速操作的腔室中的气体使用。对两个腔室进行了超过六个月的测试，零气流没有时间相关效应的证据，从而可以考虑可以永久密封的RPC可以触及，具有明显的实际和环境优势。
The mitigation of human-induced climate change is of crucial importance for the sustainability of humankind. For this aim the RPC community has exerted considerable effort over the last decade to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases from our detectors. These included searching for new eco-friendly gases, implementing recovery and/or recirculation systems, improving gastightness and using new materials and approaches in detector conception and operation for the reduction of gas flow rates. Along this line of work, we present here an RPC architecture aimed at a dramatic reduction of gas use in chambers meant for low-rate operation. Two chambers were tested for more than six months with zero gas flow showing no evidence of time-related effects, allowing to consider that permanently sealed RPCs may be within reach, with obvious practical and environmental advantages.
