GEANT4-Based Model of the CREAM Timing Charge Scintillation Detector
The CREAM instrument is a balloon-borne detector designed to measure the cosmic-ray spectrum in the 1-1000TeV energy range, with good charge resolution from protons to iron (Z = 1 to 26). The CREAM instrument has had two successful flights, both from McMurdo Station, Antarctica. CREAM-I was flown in...
