Abstract
This report summarizes the procedure for providing the absolute energy calibration of the LEP beams during the energy scan in 1993. The aver age beam energy around the LEP ring was measured in 25 calibrations wi th the resonant depolarization technique. The time variation of this a verage beam energy is well described by a model of the accelerator bas ed on monitored quantities. The absolute calibration of the centre of mass energies of the off-peak points is determined with a precision of 2 parts in 10(5) resulting in a systematic error on the Z-mass of abo ut 1.4 MeV and on the Z-width of about 1.5 MeV.
