1. ABU - Available Beam in Use (fraction of the calendar time), BANU - Beam Available Not in Use
3. PAC days - Assumed to be 50% of the calendar days
4. The figure-of-merit FOM for PRIMEX-η depends on the beam energy because of the Primakoff cross section and the background levels depends on the energy. The proposal assumed a 12 GeV beam. Our calculations were normalized to 11.7 GeV: FOM(11.7)=1.
5. SRC/CT: Assuming that the coherent edge is selected at the same energy (8.7 GeV) and that the beam current is selected keeping the same low energy flux (0.1-3 GeV), and ignoring the polarization, let us estimate the figure of merit as the beam flux at >8 GeV: FOM(10.9)/FOM(11.7)=73%
