Abstract
Distributions from high-\(p_{\text{T}}\) HERA event data analyzed in a general search for new physics at H1 have been incorporated into QUAERO, an algorithm designed to automate tests of specific hypo-theses with high energy collider data. The use of QUAERO@H1 to search for leptoquarks, R-parity violating supersymmetry, and excited quarks provides examples to develop intuition for the algorithm’s performance.
