Abstract

The Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass (CREAM) experiment is a program of cosmic ray studies flown on NASA Long Duration Balloons (LDB) launched from McMurdo Station, Antarctica. The analysis presented here uses data from the first CREAM flight which lasted a record breaking 42 days in the 2004/2005 season. The timing analysis of the Timing Charge Detector (TCD) will be discussed in this paper. This includes charge reconstruction from the rise-time of the scintillation signal in the presence of albedo due to the TCD's proximity to a target. Position extraction utilizing the fast timing electronics of the TCD is also presented.
