Abstract

"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 radiation as a reference calibration. light source. A cross-check was performed by an independent calibration using a laser light source. A significant. improvement on the energy scale uncertainty of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays is expected"
