Abstract: We have performed a detailed Monte Carlo (MC) simulation for the Advanced Thin Ion-ization Calorimeter (ATIC) detector using the MC code FLUKA-2006 which is capable of simulating particles up to 10 PeV. The ATIC detector has completed two successful balloon flights from McMurdo, Antarctica...
