Chiral Measurements

Understand

Searches for parity violation at particle physics collider experiments without polarised initial states or final-state polarimeters lack a formal framework within which some of their methods and results can be efficiently described.

• This document defines nomenclature which is intended to support future works in this area, however it has equal relevance to searches concerned with more conventional (and already well supported) pre-existing tests of parity-violation since it can be viewed as a formal axiomatisation of process of gaining evidence about parity violation regardless of its cause.
