Abstract
We describe the model of an avalanche high energy particle detector consisting of two p-n-junctions, connected through an intrinsic semiconductor with a reverse biased voltage applied. We show that this detector is able to generate the oscillatory response on the single particle passage through the structure. The possibility of oscillations leading to chaotic behavior is pointed out
