The construction, operation principle, and parameters of multichannel scanning energy analyzer of charge exchange atoms are discussed. The analyzer is used to measure the splashing ion angular distribution and energy spectra, the ions being produced in a gas dynamic plasma trap (GDCS) during the injection of powerful atomic hydrogen beam into preliminary produced plasma with density n {approx_equal} 5 {times} 10{sup 13} cm{sup {minus}3}. The parameters of the hydrogen beam are as follows: particle energy -50 keV, equivalent current -250 A, pulse duration -1 ms. The device can be also used for measurements of energy spectra of atomic and charged particle beams in plasma diagnostics, beam physics, and physics of atomic collisions. 4 refs., 4 figs.
