Tóm tắt

The authors present the current status of the NUCLEON-2 mission aimed at directly measuring the chemical and isotope composition of galactic cosmic rays. A model-independent method of analysis and the results of an analysis of the beam-test experiment are presented. Future plans as part the Detector Part of the System for Investigating and Irradiating Perspective Semiconductor Micro- and Nanoelectronic Products with High-Energy Ion Beams as Part of the Nica Megaproject (abbreviated DPS-NICA) project are presented.
