Scientific paper

The TIGER is a high altitude balloon-borne experiment designed to measure the individual elemental abundances of the galactic cosmic rays in the charge range 30 <= Z <= 40. The instrument uses scintillation, Cherenkov, and time-of-flight measurements to determine each particle's charge. We have modeled the response of the TIGER scintillation detectors to estimate their contribution to the overall charge resolution of the experiment. We present results of a Monte Carlo simulation of the scintillation model which indicates that high energy knock-on electrons play a crucial role in the performance of the scintillation counters.
