We have performed a detailed Monte Carlo (MC) simulation for the
Advanced Thin Ionization Calorimeter (ATIC) detector using the MC
code FLUKA-2006 which is capable of simulating particles up to
10 PeV. The ATIC detector has completed two successful balloon flights
from McMurdo, Antarctica lasting a total of more than 35 days. ATIC is
designed as a multiple, long duration balloon flight, inv

The first long-duration balloon flight of TRACER in 2003 provided high-quality
measurements of the primary cosmic-ray nuclei over the range oxygen (Z = 8) to iron
(Z = 26). The analysis of these measurements is now complete, and we will present
the individual energy spectra and absolute intensities of the nuclei O, Ne, Mg, Si,
S, Ca, A, and Fe. The spectra cover the energy range from 1 GeV/n

The Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass (CREAM) instrument is a balloon-borne
experiment designed to measure the composition and energy spectra of cosmic
rays of charge Z = 1 to 26 up to an energy of ~ 10^15 eV. CREAM had two
successful flights on long-duration balloons (LDB) launched from McMurdo
Station, Antarctica, in December 2004 (CREAM-I) and December 2005. CREAM-I
achieves a substantial me

We have observed cosmic-ray electrons from 10GeV to 1TeV with PPB-BETS by a long duration balloon flight
using Polar Patrol Balloon (PPB) in Antarctica. The observation was carried out for 13 days at an altitude of 35 km
in January 2004. The detector is an imaging calorimeter composed of scintillating-fiber belts and plastic
scintillators inserted between lead plates. The geometrical factor

A recently proposed novel technique for the detection of cosmic rays with arrays of
Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes is applied to data from the High Energy
Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.). The method relies on the ground based detection of
Cherenkov light emitted from the primary particle prior to its first interaction in
the atmosphere. The charge of the primary particle (Z) can be es

The balloon-borne Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass (CREAM) payload flew for a
record-breaking 42 days during the 2004/05 Antarctic season. The instrument
incorporates a tungsten/scintillating-fiber sampling calorimeter and graphite targets
to measure energies of nuclei. A finely segmented Silicon Charge detector (SCD)
located above the targets is used for charge measurements. The position of the

Due to energy losses in the interstellar medium, cosmic ray electrons at TeV energies carry
information on local (within a few hundred parsecs) accelerators. However, measurements
of the spectrum of the cosmic ray electrons beyond 1 TeV are extremely difficult due to the
rapidly declining flux and the much more numerous background of nucleonic cosmic rays. The
very large collection

Observations of Ultra-Heavy galactic cosmic rays (GCR) help to distinguish the
possible origins of GCRs. The Trans-Iron Galactic Element Recorder (TIGER) is
designed to measure the charge (Z) and energy of GCRs using a combination of
scintillation counters, Cherenkov counters, and a scintillating fiber hodoscope. The
two Cherenkov radiators, one acrylic and one aerogel, provide TIGER with an

The Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass (CREAM) experiment was successfully flown twice on
long-duration balloons from McMurdo, Antarctica, in 2004/05 and 2005/06. During the
second flight, the redundant charge identification system of the instrument (based on
scintillators and silicon detectors) was upgraded with the addition of a second layer
of pixelated silicon sensors. A measurement of the par

The ATIC balloon-borne experiment measures the energy spectra of
elements from H to Fe in primary cosmic rays from about 100 GeV to 100
TeV. ATIC is comprised of a fully active bismuth germanate
calorimeter, a carbon target with embedded scintillator hodoscopes,
and a silicon matrix that is used as a main charge detector. The
silicon matrix produces good charge resolution for the proton

The Search for Antimatter in the galactic cosmic radiation is one of the main
scientific objectives of the BESS-Program. A flatter antiproton spectrum below the
secondary production peak at 1 GeV would suggest novel antiproton source, such as
evaporating black-holes or decaying super-symmetric particles. The BESS-Polar
experiment is designed as a highly transparent magnetic rigidity spectromet

On the 15th of June, the PAMELA experiment mounted on the Resurs DK1
satellite, was launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome and since July 2006 it
is collecting data. PAMELA is a satellite-borne apparatus designed to study
charged particles in the cosmic radiation, to investigate the nature of dark
matter, measuring the cosmic-ray antiproton and positron spectra over the
largest energy range ev

Accurate measurements of the composition and energy spectra of cosmic rays beyond the
TeV energy region have been an experimental challenge for years. TRACER ("Transition
Radiation Array for Cosmic Energetic Radiation"), is currently the largest cosmic-ray
detector for direct measurements, and has been developed for long-duration balloon
flights. The instrument is unconventional in that it u
