  We present a comprehensive study of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) of 10 eV
to 2.5 keV from the downwind hemisphere of the heliosphere. These ENAs are
believed to originate mostly from pickup protons and solar wind protons in the
inner heliosheath. This study includes all low-energy observations made with
the Interstellar Boundary Explorer over the first 8 years. Since the protons
around 0.1 keV dominate the plasma pressure in the inner heliosheath in
downwind direction, these ENA observations offer the unique opportunity to
constrain the plasma properties and dimensions of the heliosheath where no
in-situ observations are available.
  We first derive energy spectra of ENA intensities averaged over time for 49
macropixels covering the entire downwind hemisphere. The results confirm
previous studies regarding integral intensities and the roll-over around 0.1
keV energy. With the expanded dataset we now find that ENA intensities at 0.2
and 0.1 keV seem to anti-correlate with solar activity. We then derive the
product of total plasma pressure and emission thickness of protons in the
heliosheath to estimate lower limits on the thickness of the inner heliosheath.
The temporally averaged ENA intensities support a rather spherical shape of the
termination shock and a heliosheath thickness between 150 and 210 au for most
regions of the downwind hemisphere. Around the nominal downwind direction of
76{\deg} ecliptic longitude, the heliosheath is at least 280 au thick. There,
the neutral hydrogen density seems to be depleted compared to upwind directions
by roughly a factor of 2.
