Comparative Site Evaluations for Locating a High-Energy Physics Lab in Texas
Abstract
In 1984, the Texas Legislature funded a four-university, interdisciplinary effort to identify feasible sites for location of a very high-energy physics lab in Texas and to evaluate the comparative advantages of one site versus another. Six feasible sites were identified and a comparative site analysis was made by applying Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), incorporating project cost, user time delay, and environmental impact data. In addition, for the efficient sites, the price weights for user time delay and environmental impact, given normalization on project cost, were analyzed and arguments were developed to bracket these pairs of price weights into an “assurance region” for the preferred site(s). The South Dallas site was found to be preferred for a wide range of conditions, while the North Houston site was sensitive to the method of indexing the impact of the environment. The method appears to be applicable to a wide range of siting problems faced by not only government, but also industry.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
