keyword=performance of FPP AND HMS DC has slightly deteriorated over past few days

I've noticed that the performance of both the HMS and FPP chambers has deteriorated recently, not dramatically, but it is definitely noticeable. Given the correlation of reductions in performance between the two sets of chambers, it suggests a gas problem. I did the shift checklist, and as far as I could tell the gas situation was okay. I also made sure that the HMS trigger delay was restored to its nominal setting, so that it couldn't be an issue of the timing in the analysis. This will require further study. Maybe it has something to do with the refrigerator having been left open for an undetermined amount of time? This problem is now solved, but I wonder if we shouldn't increase the flow to get the chambers better flushed.
