This review is dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the outstanding experimental physicist Boris Anatolyevich Dolgoshein, in whose laboratory exactly 50 years ago the first two-phase emission ...detector has been created. Today two-phase emission detectors found the best application in the most sensitive at the moment experiments searching for cold dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). Multi-ton active mass WIMP detectors of the upcoming G3 generation shall become sensitive to solar neutrinos interactions, to double-beta decay of isotopes containing in the working media with naturally occurring isotope abundances. The RED-100 detector constructed at NRNU MEPhI will be used for investigation of the reactor neutrino elastic coherent scattering off xenon nuclei at the Kalinin NPP in 2021. ProtoDUNE-DP prototype emission detector (6x6x6 m3 300 tons LAr) is currently being assembled at the CERN Neutrino Platform in support of the DUNE project focused on investigation of high energy neutrino oscillations. Thus the detector technology invented at MEPhI 50 years has demonstrated a great potential to be used in a variety of fundamental research programs.
We report results of a search for light (≲10 GeV) particle dark matter with the XENON10 detector. The event trigger was sensitive to a single electron, with the analysis threshold of 5 electrons ...corresponding to 1.4 keV nuclear recoil energy. Considering spin-independent dark matter-nucleon scattering, we exclude cross sections σ(n)>7×10(-42) cm(2), for a dark matter particle mass m(χ)=7 GeV. We find that our data strongly constrain recent elastic dark matter interpretations of excess low-energy events observed by CoGeNT and CRESST-II, as well as the DAMA annual modulation signal.

Abstract
The RED-100 two-phase xenon emission detector has been
deployed at 19-m distance from the reactor core of the Kalinin
Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) in 2021–2022 for investigation of the
...possibility to observe reactor antineutrinos using the effect of
coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE
ν
NS). The
performance of the main systems of the RED-100 setup at operating
nuclear power plant is described. There is no correlation of the
radioactive background at the experimental setup site with ON and
OFF states of the reactor. The data taking run was carried out at
the beginning of the year 2022 and covered both the reactor OFF and
ON periods.
A laboratory experimental setup based on an electroluminescent chamber with gaseous xenon at room temperature and a pressure of 6 atm is described. It is used in the educational process to study ...electroluminescence used as a method for the detection of an registering an ionization signal. With the example of α-particles, the formation of an electroluminescent signal formed when a charge produced in the process of ionization moves in a strong electric field and its dependence on the magnitude of the field are studied. It is clearly shown that the time profiles of light and electrical signals almost completely coincide with each other.

This paper reviews applications of two-phase emission detectors using xenon as working media. This kind of detectors invented at MEPhI is extremely sensitive to ionization (down to single electrons) ...and can be very massive (in ton scale) in order to provide high count rate for quite rare events and organize an active shielding from natural radioactivity in the wallles configuration of readout system. The emission detectors found their unique application in the most sensitive at the moment experiments searching for cold dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). The RED-100 detector recently constructed at NRNU MEPhI can be used for the first observation of the elastic coherent neutrino scattering off xenon nuclei when the detector is installed practically on the Earth's surface.
We present recent results on the first experimental observation of the coherent elastic scattering of the neutrino on atomic nuclei and review other experiments related to the detection and ...investigation of this process.
Abstract
The RED-100 experiment with a liquid xenon target was
carried out at Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant. The goal of the
experiment is the detection and study of the coherent elastic
neutrino ...nucleus scattering process (CEνNS) for the low-energy
antineutrinos in close vicinity to a reactor core. A good
understanding of the external radioactive background is needed to
achieve this goal. This paper describes the external background
conditions for the RED-100 experiment at Kalinin Nuclear Power
Plant.
We have shown that high voltage biased Hamamatsu R11410-20 photomultipliers with a dark count rate above 10kHz emit single photons. The effect has been observed in a few units at room temperature and ...temperatures reduced down to −60°C. The effect should be taken into account in experiments aimed on search for rare events with small energy depositions in massive liquid xenon detectors.

The heat transfer characteristics of a two-phase closed tubular cryogenic thermosyphon filled with nitrogen fluid have been investigated. The thermosyphon consists of a 1.1cm inside diameter, 5m long ...copper tube coated with a few layers of the high-vacuum superinsulation and enclosed into a vacuum jacket. A free-boiling liquid nitrogen pool has been used as a cooling machine. The system is compact, free from mechanical vibrations, and can provide thermal stabilization of remotely located devices in the temperature range of 80–120K with the heat transfer limit up to 100W.
