CREAM-Pushing the high energy frontier of directly measured cosmic rays
After nearly a century since their discovery, much is still uncertain about cosmic rays, including their source, acceleration mechanism, and propagation. Direct measurement of cosmic-ray elemental spectra in the critical energy range of 10(12) - 10(15) eV offers a promising avenue to answering these...

The Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass (CREAM) experiment was launched from McMurdo Station, Antarctica, under a NASA research balloon on December 16, 2004. Floating for nearly 42 days at altitudes between 36 and 39 km, CREAM collected over 4 x 10(7) events. Preliminary results show great promise for this dataset.
