30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE GEANT4-Based Model of the CREAM Timing Charge Scintillation Detector
Abstract: The Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass (CREAM) instrument is a balloon-borne detector de-signed to measure the cosmic-ray spectrum in the 1-1000TeV energy range, with good charge resolution from protons to iron (Z = 1 to 26). The CREAM instrument has had two successful ights, both from McMurdo...
