  The Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass (CREAM) balloon-borne experiment was first
flown from Antarctica in December 2004. The instrument includes a
tungsten/Sci-Fi calorimeter preceded by a graphite target (~0.5 interaction
length and ~1 radiation length) where a hadronic shower is initiated by the
inelastic interaction of the incoming nucleus. The fine granularity (1 cm) of
the 20 radiation length calorimeter allows the imaging of the narrow
electromagnetic core of the shower and the determination of the direction of
the incident particle. Preliminary results, from the flight data, on the shower
reconstruction capability of the instrument and on the observed shower
properties are presented.
