30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Measurements of High-Energy Heavy Nuclei with the CREAM-I TRD
Abstract: The balloon-borne cosmic-ray experiment CREAM-I (Cosmic-Ray Energetics And Mass) completed a successful 42-day flight during the 2004-2005 NSBF Antarctic expedition. CREAM-I com-bines an imaging calorimeter with charge detectors and a precision transition radiation detector (TRD). The TRD...
