Cosmic Ray Energy and Mass (CREAM)
Experiment
The CREAM is designed to measure cosmic ray elemental spectra using a
series of Long Duration Balloon (LDB) flights. The goal is to extend
direct measurement of cosmic-ray composition to the energies capable of
generating gigantic air showers which have been mainly observed on the
ground, thereby providing calibration for indirect measurements.
The instrument has redundant, complementary charge identification and the
energy measurement systems capable of precise measurements of elemental
spectra for Z = 1 - 26 nuclei, over the energy range ~1011 to ~1015 eV. Precise
measurements of the energy dependence of elemental spectra at the highest
of these energies, where the rigidity-dependent supernova acceleration limit
could be reflected in a composition change, provide a key to understanding
cosmic ray acceleration and propagation.
