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…
