We have constructed fundamental tests which can be used to probe discrete symmetries, and their possible violations, in the required ''new physics'' beyond the standard model. For spin 0 decay into tau/sup +/tau/sup -/ yielding an observable lepton pair l/sub 2/l/sub 2/ we have obtained analytically the full sequential decay correlation function I(E/sub 1/, E/sub 2/, cos psi/sub 12/) = S + ..gamma../sub CP/D in the Higgstechnipion rest frame. For fixed psi/sub 12/, contour plots of this E/sub 1/ energy-E/sub 2/ energy correlation function have been made for M/sub H/ = 9 GeV and 70 GeV to show the difference between ..gamma../sub CP/ = +-. We are continuing to investigate our proposal that partons be identified with nearly degenerate, coherent quark-gluon ''jet'' states in order to settle whether the associated ''jet based factorization'' is a natural property of QCD and whether it maintains the universality of mass singularities and the factorization of QCD processes into short-distance and long-distance parts. 4 figs
