High energy cosmic rays composition measurements by CREAM experiment
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...

This should also help constraining the astrophysical parameters mandatory to search for dark-matter signals in the GeV range. The first CREAM flight was launched from the McMurdo Station, Antarctica, aboard a NASA research balloon on December 16, 2004.
