The Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass (CREAM) experiment was launched as a long duration balloon payload from McMurdo Station, Antarctica on 16 December 2004. For the charge measurement of incident cosmic-ray particles entering its calorimeter module, CREAM has a Silicon Charge Detector (SCD) comprised of 182 silicon sensors in an active area of 779mmx795mm. The sensors are DC-coupled PIN diodes fabricated from 380gm thick, n-type wafers. This presentation describes the construction of the detector and the performance of the SCD during its first flight.

Abstract
The Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass (CREAM) experiment was launched as a long duration balloon payload from McMurdo Station, Antarctica on 16 December 2004. For the charge measurement of incident cosmic-ray particles entering its calorimeter module, CREAM has a Silicon Charge Detector (SCD) comprised of 182 silicon sensors in an active area of 779mmx795mm. The sensors are DC-coupled PIN diodes fabricated from 380gm thick, n-type wafers. This presentation describes the construction of the detector and the performance of the SCD during its first flight.
