Abstract
The Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass (CREAM) experiment is designed to investigate the source, propa- gation and acceleration mechanism of high energy cosmic-ray nuclei, by directly measuring their energy and charge. Incorporating a Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) provides a model independent energy measurement complemen- tary to the calorimeter, as well as additional track reconstruction capability. A new TRD design provides a compact, robust, reliable, low density detector to measure incident nucleus energy for 3 < Z < 26 nuclei in the Lorentz gamma factor range of 10 2 -10 5 . The TRD design, R&D, construction milestones, beam test results and a progress of the final TRD integration in the CREAM instrument are reported.
