Abstract

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.
