Large particle accelerators are required to probe higher energy scales
Large particle accelerators and multi-TeV collision designs are essential for probing higher energy scales and discovering new fundamental physics.
The claim is specific, empirical, and contestable regarding the requirements of modern particle physics. Papers [0] and [1] both explicitly discuss the necessity of large high-energy colliders (such as multi-TeV linear and circular designs) to reach higher energy frontiers and uncover fundamental laws. No papers refute the claim.
