r129 r148 38 38 39 39 %The abstract. 40 \abstract{The fluorescence yield is a key ingredient in cosmic ray energy determination. It is sensitive to pressure, temperature and humidity. 41 Up to now the fluorescence yield of the brightest line at 337 nm has been measured in an absolute way in one set of conditions, 42 whereas fluorescence yields at the other wavelengths have been relatively measured for different conditions. 43 Thus, absolute calibration for all the lines is unclear. 44 We will do all measurements at once using the same apparatus: all the lines will be measured absolutely and not relatively for all conditions. 45 For that we will use the 3-5 MeV electron beam of the PHIL accelerator (Photon Injector at LAL), shooting in a box filled with air at varying pressures, temperatures and humidity. 46 Delta rays resulting from the beam collisions with Nitrogen are responsible for the light yield. 47 The light detection probability should be independent of its emission point especially at the delta ray stopping point. 48 The idea is to use an integrating sphere, encapsulated in a vessel where pressure, temperature and humidity can be varied. 49 This sphere will have two ports for the beam (in and out), one more port dedicated to a NIST photodiode for calibration and 50 another port feeding optical fibers going to: A) a grating spectrometer equipped with cooled CCD. B) a photomultiplier with 51 BG3 filters to measure directly the integrated yield. 52 Calibrations at the percent level, will give each line spectrum yields with a precision between 2 to 5\%. 53 A special issue will be to estimate the leakage due to "high energy" delta rays. 54 Thus, the air density will be increased, the beam energy will be lowered until the beam stops inside the sphere. 55 Then, the energy loss will be precisely derived from the Bethe-Bloch formula. We will present the set-up.} 56 40 \abstract{ 57 41 %The keywords 58 42 \keywords{Ultra high-energy cosmic rays, air fluorescence technique, JEM-EUSO collaboration} … … 132 116 \begin{figure*}[!h] 133 117 \centering 134 \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{ exp_ang2}118 \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{fig1fluo} 135 119 \caption{Design of experiment.} 136 120 \label{wide_fig} … … 151 135 \begin{figure*}[!t] 152 136 \centering 153 \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{ PHIL_today2}137 \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{fig2fluo} 154 138 \caption{The PHIL accelerator} 155 139 \label{PHIL} … … 174 158 The setup is the following (e.g., figure \ref{calib1}): inside a black box, the light is emitted in an integrating sphere with two others ports: one for the NIST photodiode and another one, much smaller, is connected to the PMT. Then both the light in the diode and in the PMT are measured at the same time.\\ 175 159 176 \begin{figure}[!t]177 \centering178 \includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth]{calib_1}179 \caption{Calibration of the PMT}180 \label{calib1}181 \end{figure}182 183 160 184 161 \subsection{Calibration of the CCD} … … 192 169 With this method, the calibration of the whole system (bundle+ spectrometer+ CCD) can be made at around 2-3 \%. 193 170 194 \begin{figure}[!t] 195 \centering 196 \includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth]{calib_2} 197 \caption{Calibration of the PMT} 198 \label{calib2} 199 \end{figure} 171 200 172 201 173
