Abstract
The GAS 2 instrument is designed to detect neutral atoms (especially H) of the solar wind with typical energies of about 1 keV. To separate fast atoms from intense flux of photons from the sun the coincidence technique was us ed. The instrument was tested and calibrated and it was shown that GAS 2 co uld really measure various kinds of light neutral atoms and ions in keV ene rgy range in the presence of ultraviolet radiation.
