Finding eco-friendly alternatives for highly potent greenhouse gases in drift chambers — •Ines Hannen, Thomas Radermacher, Stefan Roth, David Smyczek, and Nick Thamm — RWTH Aachen University - Physics Institute III B, Aachen, Germany

Climate change poses an immense challenge to mankind. Drift chambers used in high-energy physics are often filled with highly potent greenhouse gases. To find an alternative to these, simulations on drift gas properties and energy deposition are performed. Important drift gas parameters, simulations and criteria to find eco-friendly alternatives are presented. The focus lies on Argon based drift gases as used for example in the time projection chambers of the T2K experiment.
