The carbon footprint of a ‘Higgs factory’

时间:2022-11-05     【转载】

Physicists around the world are vying to build the next super collider — but the carbon footprints of the designs could be vastly different. Physicists calculated the energy consumption of five proposed ‘Higgs factories’ and found that energy consumption varied wildly. The least-polluting option — the Future Circular Collider near Geneva, Switzerland — would use one-sixth the energy of the most polluting alternative, the US-based Cool Copper Collider, to produce one particle. But the forecast carbon footprints could “change dramatically” as countries expand access to renewable power, says Wang Yifan, the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing.
