IS this rim repairable at all

I wouldn't repair. You will have such problems trying to get anything like even spoke tension or even getting it true afterwards. Also, for the carbon to have shattered like that there is probably damage to the aliminum as well. Scrap it.

wheels have such hight stresses. generally speaking carbon frames can be easily repaired. carbon wheels, the stresses are to high. not a good idea...

I would not have that repaired. Like Furbz says, high amount of stress placed on rims. Spokes need to be tightened and then all the road stresses of cornering etc. The risk is just too big.
