The Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass (CREAM) experiment was launched as a long duration balloon payload from McMurdo Station, Antarctica on 16 December 2004. For the charge measurement of incident cosmic-ray particles entering its calorimeter module, CREAM has a Silicon Charge Detector (SCD) comprised...
