Abstract
The use of «warm liquid» tetramethylsilane (TMS) is relevant in large massive calorimeters (with a volume of several hundred liters) to search for processes with very low energy releases. This direction is called «non-accelerator» experiments with low-background detectors.
Keywords
electronegative impurities,
«warm liquids»,
free electron yield,

«non-accelerating experiments»
Supporting agencies: The authors are grateful to A.I. L'vov for consultations on the development of the electronic path of the two-phase emission low-background detector calorimeter on tetramethylsilane.
