Description

The balloon borne experiment, EUSO-Balloon, recorded data to measure the UV background during a moonless night, from an altitude of ~40 km in the nadir direction, with a field of view of ±6deg. In this paper, we investigate the sensitivity of the instrument to coherent fluctuations of this background over areas from ~ $1km^{2}$ up to the entire field of view, on timescales ranging from a few microseconds to a few seconds. We present the results of a systematic search for significant variations in the data recorded during the stratospheric flight of August 2014.
