Abstract
A scintillation detector having reduced temperature sensitivity is provided by having two circuits for temperature compensation. The two circuits may be a thermistor in parallel with both a resistive element and a switching element. The switching element can be various devices including a zener diode, a Schottky barrier diode or an MIM. The temperature compensation circuit may be included in the circuit of a photo-detector such as a photomultiplier tube.
