Summary:

After decades of research and development, emission detectors have recently become the most successful instrumentation used in modern fundamental experiments searching for cold dark matter, and are also considered for neutrino coherent scattering and magnetic momentum neutrino measurement. This book is the first monograph exclusively dedicated to emission detectors. Properties of two-phase working media based on noble gases, saturated hydrocarbon, ion crystals and semiconductors are reviewed.

Contents:

Hetero-phase detectors and history of development of emission detectors

Emission of charge carriers from working media of emission detectors

Generation of signals in massive emission detectors

Emission ionization chambers

Emission detectors with physical amplification of signals

Imaging emission detectors

Emission detectors for low-background experiments

Applications of emission detectors.
