storage ring, tbeam, which is predominantly determined by the extraction towards the polarimeter, and the polarization lifetime tpol. Given a polarization lifetime the former can be tuned to yield optimal sensitivity, typically tbeam≈2tpol. In this case τ is proportional to tpol. The sensitivity is thus inversely proportional to (the square-root of) the polarization lifetime. Maximization of tpol thus optimizes the sensitivity of the experiment. The proposed experimental sensitivity is based on
