Stage 1: Assessment | Name and reference | Type of interaction, differential rate as required (e.g. recoil energy, theory parameters, time) | Define requirements for each detector (energy range, multiplicity) | Estimate background count for 3 years of data taking and 50 kg of NaI crystal mass | Discovery/exclusion limits based on background rate and stat. unc. only | From rate limits and differential rate formula | Best limits from literature (overall and same type of detector) |
Stage 2: Prioritisation | Create a priority list based on expected limits vs current limits for the assessed processes and/or relevance of the result. Proceed to stage 3 walking down the priority list | ||||||
Stage 3: Refinement and writing | Create a section in the paper describing the process | Refine if needed | Refine if needed | Refine, include uncertainties | Refine, include uncertainties | ||
