This chapter describes the process of electron avalanche multiplication, which is the only method known to detect the smallest possible electrical signal, a single electron at rest. Electron avalanche multiplication can advantageously be used in position sensitive photomultipliers to with high efficiency detect single photons with respect to position, time, direction and energy.
