<div dir="ltr"><br><div>PPS : please note that in the overhead I assumed we would switch polarization states twice per day and I assumed 2 hours each time. I think this would imply about 10 "buckets" of polarized counts and 10 "buckets" of unpolarized counts for each of our 3 x-points. It is our dominant overhead at 5 days total. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I think we may have a little room to move here. Please see the attached plot from g2p data, where we depolarized the (proton) target by pumping with microwaves in less than 4 minutes. The pump up is also very fast with the new fridge and blasting the wattage of the new microwave cavity the pump up is about 30 mins to the negative state. I think polarizing in the positive state is usually a little faster. </div>
<div><br></div><div>So, perhaps we can be a little more aggressive in our overhead estimate :5 or 10 mins for depolarizing and 30 mins to polarize. That would give us the flexibility to increase the number of "buckets" to say 10 or 12 total per day. It will be a large overhead (about 12 days just for this), but oh well. Would this be sufficient to control the known drifts? </div>
<div><br></div><div>A little more radical would be to explore the idea of flipping from positive to negative tensor polarization rapidly with an AFP type flip, which I believe is near instantaneous. This is essentially what happens with hole burning anyway I think.</div>
