Description

The Circular Electron-Positron Collider (CEPC) aims to construct a top-performing Higgs factory to tackle pressing issues in particle physics. The baseline design includes three operation modes: Higgs, W, and Z, followed by an energy upgrade plan for ttbar collision. The operations plan adheres to a "10-2-1-5" scheme: 10 years as a Higgs factory, 2 years as a Z factory, 1 year as a W factory, and 5 years as a ttbar operation.
The baseline design for synchrotron radiation power is 30 MW, with a potential upgrade to 50 MW for higher luminosity. The required electrical powers are 262 MW and 340 MW, respectively. Given the considerable energy consumption, it's crucial to incorporate green designs into key technologies and improve their efficiency. Utilizing renewable energies, like solar power, is another important area for investigation. Additionally, a lifecycle assessment of carbon dioxide emissions is essential. These issues have been considered in the studies for the CEPC, some of which have been years of endeavors, while others are still in early stages. The current research status will be presented in the upcoming talk.
