Precise Measurement of the Absolute Yield of Fluorescence Photons in Atmospheric Gases
AIRFLY Collaboration, M. Ave, M. BoháÄová +28
We have performed a measurement of the absolute yield of fluorescence photons at the Fermilab Test Beam. A systematic uncertainty at 5% level was achieved by the use of Cherenkov r…
A novel method for the absolute fluorescence yield measurement by AIRFLY
AIRFLY Collaboration, M. Ave
One of the goals of the AIRFLY (AIR FLuorescence Yield) experiment is to measure the absolute fluorescence yield induced by electrons in air to better than 10% precision. We introd…
Precise measurement of the absolute fluorescence yield of the 337 nm band in atmospheric gases
AIRFLY Collaboration, M. Ave, M. Bohacova +29
A measurement of the absolute fluorescence yield of the 337 nm nitrogen band, relevant to ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) detectors, is reported. Two independent calibrations…
Measurement of the pressure dependence of air fluorescence emission induced by electrons
AIRFLY Collaboration
The fluorescence detection of ultra high energy (> 10^18 eV) cosmic rays requires a detailed knowledge of the fluorescence light emission from nitrogen molecules, which are excited…
