Innovate for Sustainable Accelerating Systems

粒子加速器已成为改善我们的健康、环境、安全和高科技能力的重要工具，也是开启物理、化学、生物学新的基本见解的重要工具，通常还能实现改善我们生活的科学突破。将粒子加速到更高的能量总是需要大量的能量。在一个能源可持续性至关重要的社会中，将能源消耗保持在尽可能低的合理水平对于研究基础设施（RI）和工业来说都是一个不可避免的挑战，它们共同运营着40，000多个加速器。基于最先进的技术，欧洲目前和未来的加速器驱动的RI组合可以发展到消耗德国年电力需求的1%。为了保持欧洲区域创新机构的吸引力和竞争力，并实现欧洲的绿色协议，我们提出了可持续加速系统创新（iSAS），通过加强该领域的合作，扩大，加快和扩大新型节能技术的发展和影响，以加速粒子。对于许多前沿加速器来说，超导RF（SRF）系统是使能技术。iSAS将创新那些已被确定为SRF加速系统的共同核心的技术，这些技术对节能具有最大的影响，以最大限度地减少所有运行阶段的固有能耗。在加速器驱动的RI领域，正在开发解决方案，以重新利用产生的废热，开发节能磁铁，并在能源可用时按机会计划运行设施。iSAS项目对SRF加速技术的能源效率具有补充性关注。这将有助于至关重要的过渡，以维持加速器技术在绿色和能源意识的21世纪世纪的巨大世纪应用。

Particle accelerators have become essential instruments to improve our health, the environment, our safety, and our high-tech abilities, as well as to unlock new fundamental insights in physics, chemistry, biology, and generally enable scientific breakthroughs that improve our lives. Accelerating particles to higher energies will always require a large amount of energy. In a society where energy sustainability is critical, keeping energy consumption as low as reasonable possible is an unavoidable challenge for both research infrastructures (RIs) and industry, which collectively operate over 40,000 accelerators. Based on state-of-the-art technology, the portfolio of current and future accelerator-driven RIs in Europe could develop to consume up to 1% of Germany's annual electricity demand. With the ambition to maintain the attractiveness and competitiveness of European RIs and to enable Europe’s Green Deal, we propose to Innovate for Sustainable Accelerating Systems (iSAS) by establishing enhanced collaboration in the field to broaden, expedite and amplify the development and impact of novel energy-saving technologies to accelerate particles. For many frontier accelerators superconducting RF (SRF) systems are the enabling technology. iSAS will innovate those technologies that have been identified as being a common core of SRF accelerating systems and that have the largest leverage for energy savings to minimize the intrinsic energy consumption in all phases of operation. In the landscape of accelerator-driven RIs, solutions are being developed to reuse the waste heat produced, to develop energy-efficient magnets and to operate facilities on opportunistic schedules when energy is available. The iSAS project has a complementary focus on the energy efficiency of the SRF accelerating technologies. This will contribute to the vital transition to sustain the tremendous 20th century applications of the accelerator technology in a green and energy conscious 21st century.
