The balloon-borne experiment Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass (CREAM) investigates very high energy (10e10 to 10e15 eV) cosmic rays over the elemental range from protons to iron. This energy range offers promising prospects for answering fundamental questions related with the source, acceleration mech...
