The rapid development of high-energy particle colliders has significantly increased accelerator power consumption, reaching an annual terawatt-hour (TWh) scale. Such high energy consumption limits the sustainable operation of high-energy physics facilities, making efficiency optimization essential for next-generation accelerators. To address the low energy efficiency and substantial power loss...
The Large Particle Physics Laboratory Directors Group (LDG), which coordinates the development of HEP accelerators in Europe, established a Sustainability Panel in 2024 with the mandate to develop guidelines and a minimum set of key indicators for the sustainability assessment of future accelerators. While focused on accelerator projects, the proposed framework is also relevant to existing and...
High-power microwave (HPM) systems are essential for accelerating charged particles in large-scale accelerators, where precise control of microwave parameters—such as amplitude, phase, and pulse shape—is critical to achieving high beam quality. Among the key HPM components, pulse compressors, variable attenuators, phase shifters, and absorbing loads play pivotal roles in beam dynamics...
The Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IHEP, CAS) is China’s core research institution for high-energy physics, home to major scientific and technological infrastructures such as the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider (BEPC).
The BEPC Waste Heat Recovery and Heating Project ingeniously harnesses waste heat dissipated by the BEPC accelerator. Adopting compression...
