The ionization of liquefied noble gases by radiation is known to beaccompanied by fluctuations much larger than predicted by Poisson statistics.We have studied the fluctuations of both scintillation and ionization in liquidxenon and have measured, for the first time, a strong anti-correlation betweenthe two at a microscopic level, with coefficient $ -0.80 < \rho_{ep} < -0.60 $.This provides direct experimental evidence that electron-ion recombination ispartially responsible for the anomalously large fluctuations and at the sametime allows substantial improvement of calorimetric energy resolution.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figure
