The cosmic ray all-particle energy spectrum in the energy range from 10 GeV to ~100 TeV is presented here. Data were obtained from the Thin Ionisation Calorimeter (TIC) experiment flown on balloon for 76 hours in August 1994 over northern Canada. TIC was calibrated with a 2.3 TeV gold beam at Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1994 and with a 800 GeV proton beam at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in 1997. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations were conducted using GEANT/FLUKA to (1) evaluate the instrument performance including energy calibration and energy resolution, (2) calculate the energy deposited by interacting particles, and (3) reconstruct the cosmic ray all-particle energy spectrum. The derived integral spectral index of the cosmic ray spectrum is γCR=1.68± 0.01 from the measured deposited energy spectrum.
