A Ground-based UV Light Source for the Euso Mission
Abstract
The Extreme Universe Space Observatory (EUSO) mission will measure the uorescence signal produced by Extensive Air Showers (EAS). To determine the intrinsic shower luminance and hence the energy of the incident cosmic ray, a correction must be made for attenuation in the atmosphere. The correction will be determined on an event-by-event basis by atmospheric sounding with a LIDAR. We report here on a "ground truth" concept to verify EUSO's measurements of intrisic shower luminance.
