• Difference in data size between L1L1 and L1L2?
• Re-calculate mass resolution for L1L2?
• Overly optimistic exclusion estimate could be coming from multiple factors
  • May be because we optimized on this set, maybe have a different test set?
  • Could need to scale denominator (the Allowed) when scaling up, will need some smoothing method to avoid propagating statistical fluctuations
• Optimization strategy should be using exponential re-weighting somewhere to help bring cuts closer to the target
• Expand search window to 220MeV in invariant mass to align with bump hunt
