Using missing energies to determine which processes are responsible for a reaction and for particle ID
 
There are severals, and there are also "missing momenta" technuiqes. Do you want references instead? I can't write 10pages here..

Yes that would be great thanks. I often see references to them in text without any real explanation and I am curious to what they are
