Abstract
The characteristics of the silicon matrix which is the main charge detector in the ATIC balloon experiment are reported. The ATIC spectrometer was des igned to measure the elemental composition and energy spectra of primary co smic rays in an energy range of 10(10) to 10(13) eV with individual charge resolution from protons to iron under high albedo conditions from the calor imeter.
