Nonetheless, the final objects of an analysis are, at some approximate level, just four-vectors labelled as a certain particle type, with extra supplementary information.

Minkowski diagrams; invariants and four-vectors; momentum, energy, and mass; particle collisions.

Any early public release of all the data would most likely result in lots of junk preprints as people saw badly-understood detector effects and called them new physics — if CDF II had just gone and immediately published the four-vectors rolling out of its reconstruction software, I’m sure someone would have noticed a huge excess of monojet+missing energy events.

“As regards four-vectors: the processed data isn’t a collection of particles with well-defined momenta, energies or even identities.

One is whether the data should be made available to the public (in ASCII four-vectors or whatever); after all the taxpayers fund us, shouldn’t they get their money’s worth?

For example, Einstein originally formulated special relativity in language that now seems clumsy, and it was mathematician Hermann Minkowski’s introduction of four-vectors and spacetime that made further progress possible.
