  In this report we describe MCP-based radiation detector at FLASH2. Micro-channel plate (MCP) detects scattered radiation from a target (mesh). Use of different targets and geometrical positioning of the MCP plates provides control of photon flux on the detector. MCP detector covers the whole wavelength range of FLASH2 (from 2.x nm to 100 nm). Dynamic range spans from sub-nJ to mJ level (from spontaneous to saturation level). Relative accuracy of single-shot radiation pulse energy measurements in the exponential gain regime is about 1%. DAQ based software is under development which allows to perform cross-correlation of the SASE FEL performance with electron beam jitters. As a result, it is possible: (i) to organize efficient feedback for cancellation of machine jitters, and (ii) to use statistical techniques for characterization of SASE FEL radiation deriving such important quantities as gain curve (gain of the radiation pulse energy and its fluctuations along the undulator), radiation pulse duration, coherence time, and degree of transverse coherence. Relevant experimental results are presented in the paper.
