Greening for Bosons
(2014) 55th ICFA Advanced Beam Dynamics Workshop on High Luminosity Circular e+e- Colliders – Higgs Factory (HF2014)- Abstract
- Throughout history, scientific advancement hasbeen dependent upon advances in the technologies ofresearch. However, branches of research that today relyon Research Infrastructures (RIs) such as acceleratorsrequire technological investments so large that multinationcollaborations are required to fund them. Modernaccelerator science also has massive (and increasing)energy needs, yet the very provision of secure, equitable,clean and cost effective energy is one of the greatestsustainability challenges facing society. Modern energyprovision systems are fundamental to development, yetalso constitute one of the greatest threats to sustainabilityvia their contribution to environmental degradation andclimate change. This paper works from a premise... (More)

This paper works from a premise that anynew proposal for investment in an RI should crediblydemonstrate that it would deliver more value than cost tosociety. As our understanding of the negative impacts ofenergy use grows, the demonstration of overall valuecreation has become more complex; it must now includeconsideration of an RI’s ‘energy system footprint’.Programs to reduce the energy footprint can help addressthis delicate balance. This paper uses experiences in thedevelopment of the European Spallation Source (ESS) inSweden to demonstrate how credible programs toimprove the energy performance of an RI can take form. (Less)
