摘要:

粒子物理学界已达成共识,建造一台正负电子对撞机是该领域持续发展的下一步举措,它为希格斯玻色子的详细研究提供了独特机遇。目前已有多项方案正接受国际社会评估。任何大型粒子加速器都是能源消耗装置,因此在当下,我们必须关注其对环境的影响。本文评估了其中一项希格斯工厂方案——Cool Copper Collider(冷铜对撞机)的建造与运行所产生的碳影响。文中提出了多项降低该加速器碳影响的策略,还提出了一种用于比较各希格斯工厂碳成本的指标,该指标在物理研究潜力、能源需求以及建造和运行阶段的碳足迹之间取得平衡,并在此框架下对各类希格斯工厂方案进行了比较。对于Cool Copper Collider而言,其8公里的紧凑占地规模以及采用明挖法施工的可能性,极大降低了隐含碳这一主要影响因素的贡献。

英文摘要:

The particle physics community has agreed that an electron-positron collider is the next step for continued progress in this field, giving a unique opportunity for a detailed study of the Higgs boson. Several proposals are currently under evaluation of the international community. Any large particle accelerator will be an energy consumer and so, today, we must be concerned about its impact on the environment. This paper evaluates the carbon impact of the construction and operations of one of these Higgs factory proposals, the Cool Copper Collider. It introduces several strategies to lower the carbon impact of the accelerator. It proposes a metric to compare the carbon costs of Higgs factories, balancing physics reach, energy needs, and carbon footprint for both construction and operations, and compares the various Higgs factory proposals within this framework. For the Cool Copper Collider, the compact 8 km footprint and the possibility for cut-and-cover construction greatly reduce the dominant contribution from embodied carbon.
