Title: "Making measurements and constraining new physics at the LHC”

Abstract: Particle-level differential measurements made in fiducial regions of phase-space at colliders have a high degree of 
model-independence. These measurements can therefore be compared to BSM physics implemented in Monte Carlo generators in a very 
generic way, allowing a wider array of final states to be considered than is typically the case. A new method (called Contur) 
providing general consistency constraints for Beyond-the-Standard-Model (BSM) theories, using measurements at particle colliders, 
is presented.
