| Summary: | Abstract: The Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass balloon-borne experiment has accumulated 70 days of exposure during two successful flights in Antarctica. The instrument is configured with comple-mentary and redundant particle detectors. Energy measurements are made with a transition radiation detector and an ionization calorimeter. Charge measurements are made with timing, pixelated Si, and Cherenkov detectors to provide powerful rejection of backscatter particles. High energy cosmic-ray data from the first two flights were collected over a wide energy range from ~ 10 GeV to ~ 1 PeV at |
