This paper describes new measurements (at about 100 MeV/n) of elemental ratios in cosmic rays, made from Voyager 2 at about 22.5 AU. These data are characterized by a very low level of solar modulation, which results from the combination of the 1986-1987 solar minimum period and the large heliocentric distance. The data were obtained from one of the two HET telescopes on board Voyager 2, collected during 1986 and 1987; the charges were derived from a double dE/dx vs E analysis. The results on the secondary/primary elemental ratios are presented along with previous results obtained at 1 AU by IMP-8 and ISEE-3.
