Abstract

The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) Balloon Flight Engineering Model (BFEM) represents one of the 16 towers that compose the Large Area Telescope (LAT) instrument to be launched in March 2006. In low earth orbit and at balloon altitude, background generated by cosmic-ray interactions is known to dominate over the astronomical gamma ray signal in its rate. A Geant4 based simulation program has been developed to study this cosmic-ray...
