Abstract content
CREST is a balloon-borne detector array of barium fluoride crystal scintillators which will measure the intensity and spectrum of multi-TeV electrons in the Cosmic Rays. By detecting the synchrotron photons emitted from electrons passing through the earth's magnetic field, CREST's acceptance is several times its geometric area. We present background measurement results from a small array prototype flight (CREST-I) and describe the full instrument (CREST-II) which is scheduled for an Antarctic Long Duration Balloon flight in late 2009.
