A novel method for the absolute end-to-end calibration of the Auger fluorescence telescopes

The fluorescence detector technique is using the atmosphere as a calorimeter. Besides the precise monitoring of the parameters of the atmosphere a proper knowledge of the optical properties in the UV range of all optical components involved in the measurements of the fluorescence light is vital. Unt...
