Figure-of-Merit
We construct a Figure-of-Merit (FOM) based on the calculated electromagnetic background rates in the detector and the resolution for reconstructing omega mesons, such that it will be inversely proportional to running time to attain a given statistical significance. The validity for this FOM is based on the following argument:
- Statistical significance ~ signal/sqrt(background)
- signal ~ time x luminosity
- background ~ time x luminosity x width of signal peak
In addition, we assume that the luminosity is limited by the rates in the detectors, which is dominated by electromagnetic background. Therefore
- luminosity ~
, where 
is the rate in one of the inner detectors, either the start counter or the FDC. (We use the start counter rate)
Therefore,
- Significance ~ time x luminosity / sqrt (time x luminosity x width) ~ sqrt (time x luminosity / width) ~ sqrt (time / ( x width)
- For constant significance, the experimental run time ~ x width = 1/FOM.
We note that the calculated rates give 
, and 
, which leads to 
. See figure below:
