*'''Laser Intensity''' - if the laser is brighter, each fiber will result in a higher photon yield. Dr. Jones has compensated for this. We also found that the photon yields decrease as the pulser's 9V battery is drained.

*'''Temperature of the SiPM board''' - we found that as the fiber runs were done repeatedly without turning off the electronics and removing the board, the photon yield decreases. Automated runs resulted in variances between 3-5%

*'''Depth of the fibers in the chimney''' - We found that differences as small as 0.5 mm can have a minor affect on the photon yields.
