Abstract

The NUKLON-2 experiment is aimed at measuring the isotope and charge composition of cosmic rays for medium, heavy, and superheavy ions (Z < 82) with energies between 300 MeV/nucleon and 1 GeV/nucleon. The design of the planned satellite-borne NUKLON-2 cosmic-ray detector is presented. Modeling of the detector’s performance indicates the adopted isotope-separation techniques are effective.
