Hi:
In experimental HEP, Why are higher energies associated with shorter distances , and by the way, in order to reach higher energies or shorter distances, an increase in the size of the detectors is needed, Could you please tell me why?. For instance Why do we meed a particle accelerator as big as the LHC to obtain 14 TeV, couldn`t they just build a smaller accelerator that reached the same energy?
Thans a lot for your help
