LER thermal outgassing is back again with us Significant increase in East Diamond signal since May 12, ~3 pm due to thermal outgassing in two pumps VP3044, VGCC3027 Happened one day before the last LER current step (2400 mA on May 13) Due to HER current increased from 1.3A to 1.4A As in March, change associated with pressure AND sensitivity variations in these pumps Seen also in DCH and DRC
One month history of LER and Diamond East LER East Diam April 17 May 18 May 12
Extra heating due to HER increase (thanks to Witold for pinting this out!) HER increased from 1.3 to 1.4 A From 3 pm onwards

Diamond East is perfectly described with two pumps vP3044 and VGCC3027 May 11 6 pm to Midnight Diam E VGCC3027 VP
After the start of outgassing May 13, 8 pm to Midnight Almost doubling of DIAME
Still true later on May 17 3am to Midnight

Conclusion Significant increase (x1.65) of DIAME since May 12 due to thermal outagassing in VP3044 and VGCC3027 Caused by the HER current increase from 1.3A to 1.4A Affects also DCH and DRC Pressure AND sensitivity variation in both pumps –VP3044 sensitivity x 2.5 –VGCC3027 reduced by a factor 2 ! –Evidence of VP3044 pressure reduction with time Will be interesting to correlate with the many new temperature sensors
