\subsubsection{Longitudinal polarization}  Measurements with longitudinal polarization require maintaining polarization of both ${\rm e}^+$ and ${\rm e}^-$ beams in collisions. At LEP, transverse beam polarization of 40\% was observed and maintained in collisions for more than five hours at Z pole energies ($\sim 45$ GeV per beam) with one collision point, a beam-beam tune shift of 0.04, and a single bunch luminosity of $10^{30}~\cms$~\cite{cite:LEP-beam-beam-pol}. The polarization levels measured during this experiment are displayed in Fig.~\ref{fig:polarization} as a function of time. With the smaller value of $\beta_y^{*}$ and the larger number of bunches, similar polarization levels could be envisaged in collisions at the Z pole with TLEP with luminosity of around $10^{35}~\cms$, for the same total storage ring beam-beam tune shift. An optimal This will require that an suitable  working point would have to be is  found, given taking into account the (much reduced) top-off rate and  the effect of beamstrahlung and of the required Polarization wigglers on the energy spread.
