SUMMARY:Christopher Lester - Data-data comparisons as searches for parity 
 violation\, symmetry violation and emus - Christopher Lester (Cambridge)

DESCRIPTION:*The seminar will take place via Zoom "here":https://maths-cam
 -ac-uk.zoom.us/j/95215212460?pwd=TWN5cjJ3azErSUYremw5UWRKL0NKUT09.*\n\nAbs
 tract: Data-data comparisons have been used in High Energy Physics measure
 ments for the best part of a century in a number of sub fields (e.g. ratio
 s of cross sections in flavour physics). Nevertheless\, data-data comparis
 ons are rarely the driving force motivating LHC "Beyond Standard Model" (B
 SM) searches for supersymmetry and leptoquarks where the majority of searc
 hes instead compare data to a signal model generated by Monte Carlo method
 s.  This talk hopes to discuss some of the consequences of making data-dat
 a comparison a starting-point rather than a way-point in the development o
 f BSM searches.  Applications to searches for violation of parity will be 
 discussed in detail\, perhaps aided by considerations relating to alien in
 vasion of CERN's Restaurant 1 or difficulties faced by malacologists.  Tes
 ts of charge-favour symmetry violation through searches for emus will be d
 iscussed if time permits.
