Abstract
The NUCLEON-2 experiment is aimed at the investigation of isotope and charge composition of ions from carbon up to trans-uranium elements in the energy range over about a hundred MeV/N. The concept design of the NUCLEON-2 satellite cosmic ray experiment is presented. The performed simulation and preliminary prototype beam test confirms the isotope resolution algorithms and techniques.
