Abstract
Highly efficient multiwire dielectric detectors of weakly and strongly ionizing charged particles described. These are very thin (1-5 mg/cm2 ) detectors utilizing the drift and multiplication of secondary electr ons in porous dielectric layers placed in a strong external electric f ield (E = 10(4) - 10(5) V/cm). By construction these detectors resembl e multiwire chambers, in which porous layers of CsI, KBr and creolite (Na3AlF6) are used as working media. Important manufacturing singulari ties of such detectors are considered.
