3	Signals	S2 vs S1	S2 vs S1	S2 vs S1	S1 only	S2 vs S1 and S1 PSD	S1, Identification statistic (like pulse shape, but more powerful because it takes into account individual PMT likelihoods)	S1, S1 PSD	Energy (phonons), "ionization yield" (ionization over energy), to a lesser extent (I think for position info?) phonon radial and z partitions. I think just using energy and ionization would be sufficient for our purposes?																What observable space is the signal in and other relavent factors?
4	How to get signal model from energy spectrum?	NEST	NEST	NEST	NEST	NEST for S1 and S2? as of yet unsure for PSD??																			What software (or otherwise) tools are available to get a signal model in this observable space.
5	What bkgs should be included?	ER, maybe neutrinos?																							Top of my head only backgrounds that are not eliminated by making the detector bigger (such as ER and maybe coherent neutrino for Xe)? Include backgrounds up to ~80%?
6	What detector specific factors need to be included?	S1 threshold, detector efficiency, gain factors (g1, g2)																							Things like thresholds, or gains, that might be slightly different between different detectors of the same sort of technologies.
7	What limit framework makes sense to use?	PLR? With inclusion of varying signals with energy, counting methods are probable not as good.

35				Comments	use only energy? (instead of target specific observable space)
36					Ask halo model people how they delt with the energy->observable space issues
37					use only "best" version of each target
