Turning crumbs into a feast: analysis preservation and re-interpretation at the Large Hadron Collider

Turning crumbs into a feast: analysis preservation and re-interpretation at the Large Hadron Collider

Yoran Yeh (UCL)

The various LHC experiments scrutinise the Standard Model (SM) by performing precise SM measurements in addition to direct searches for physics beyond the SM (BSM). However, there is a limit to how many parameter combinations and BSM scenarios can be tested directly by the experiments. This motivates a shift in our approach: the long-term impact of LHC analyses can be drastically increased if they are designed and preserved in such a way that the experimental data can be re-used, or "re-interpreted", in terms of a different model and outside the collaborations. Time is pressing as the current period of data taking at the LHC, Run 3, may be the final words on many topics before the High-Luminosity LHC upgrades.

From an experimental point of view this talk covers analysis preservation, in other words increasing the shelf-life of an analysis and making sure results can be easily re-used decades into the future. From the phenomenological side, expect a tour through the buzzing re-interpretation landscape where several tools and physics results will be highlighted.
