Reconstruction of showers in the calorimeter during the first flight of the CREAM balloon experiment

The Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass (CREAM) balloon-borne experiment was first flown from Antarctica in December 2004. The instrument includes a tungsten/Sci-Fi calorimeter preceded by a graphite target (~0.5 interaction length and ~1 radiation length) where a hadronic shower is initiated by the inel...
