Abstract: Charge, fired strip multiplicity distributions for the induced signal were investigated for the 2 mm gap RPC operating with several tetrafluoroethane (C2H2F4) based mixtures with variation of isobutane (iC4H10) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) concentrations. Suppression of the large fast charges for the mixtures containing SF6 in comparison with the binary C2H2F4/iC4H10 mixture was confirmed. Exclusion of isobutane from the mixture with 2% of SF6 does not change charge distributions.
