Scientific paper

Today's high-energy collider experiments present excellent opportunities for discovering physics beyond the Standard Model. Unfortunately, predictions for what this new physics may be are all over the map. How can we search for new physics when we only vaguely know what it should look like? Is there a way to perform an unbiased yet data-driven search? Is it possible to quantify the "interestingness" of apparently anomalous events after looking at the data? I will discuss an analysis strategy (Sleuth) that answers these questions, and will describe its application to data collected by the DZero experiment in Run I of the Fermilab Tevatron before concluding with musings on the application of these ideas to other areas of research.
