The LHCb collaboration is currently using a pioneer system of data filtering in the trigger system, based on real time particle reconstruction in Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). This corresponds to processing 5 TB/s of information and has required a huge amount of hardware and software developments. Among them, the corresponding power consumption and sustainability is an imperative matter in...
Given the urgency to reduce fossil fuel energy production to make cli-
mate tipping points less likely, we call for resource-aware knowledge
gain in the research areas on Universe and Matter with emphasis on
the digital transformation. A portfolio of measures is described in de-
tail and then summarized according to the timescales required for their
implementation. The measures will both...
In the Belle II collaboration, a discussion of the sustainability topic began in 2023. A survey showed that many Belle II members care about the topic. We will report about the status of a grassroots initiative to address the sustainability challenge of research at Belle II.
Saturated fluorocarbons (SFCs: CnF(2n+2) ) are chosen for their optical properties as Cherenkov radiators, with C4F10 and CF4 used at CERN in the COMPASS and LHCb RICH detectors. Non-conductivity, non-flammability and radiation resistance also make SFCs ideal coolants: C6F14 liquid cooling is used in all LHC experiments, while C3F8 is used for the evaporative cooling of TOTEM and the ATLAS...
Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) are gaseous detectors widely employed in High Energy Physics experiments. Thanks to their comparatively low cost and excellent timing and positioning performance, they are used to cover large detection areas, such as those needed by the muon trigger systems of the LHC experiments (RPCs are currently employed in ALICE, ATLAS and CMS and they are also being...
Gaseous detectors are indispensable as they serve a multitude of diverse applications in particle and nuclear physics, but also in industry, e.g., in the national security domain. To stay at the forefront of rapidly changing particle detector technologies for future detector applications, gaseous detectors must face a critical global challenge: sustainability. Today’s RPC detectors utilise...
In this talk, we will discuss the studies presented in PRX ENERGY 2, 047001, where the carbon impact of the Cool Copper Collider (C$^3$), a proposed $e^{+}e^{-}$ linear collider operated at 250 and 550 GeV center-of-mass energies, is evaluated. We will introduce several strategies that could be utilized to reduce the power needs for C$^3$ without modifications in the ultimate physics reach. We...
With the ambition to maintain competitiveness of European accelerator-based research infrastructures, the Horizon Europe project Innovate for Sustainable Accelerating Systems (iSAS) has been approved. Within total 17 academic and industrial partners, the objective of iSAS is to develop, prototype and validate new impactful energy-saving technologies so that SRF accelerators use significantly...
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,...
Following global sustainability concerns, “pursuing actions and technologies aiming at energy savings and reuse” is listed as one of the main objectives for 2021-2025 at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). This objective extends to the Cooling and Ventilation group, within the Engineering department, who oversees the operation of CERN's cooling infrastructure. This large,...
