A radiation detector device can include a photosensor and a scintillation
device coupled to the photosensor. The scintillation device can include a
scintillator crystal enclosed within a casing. The scintillator crystal
can be optically coupled to a window at an end of the casing. The
scintillation device can include a dielectric gas inside at least part of
the casing. The dielectric gas can be adapted to reduce or prevent static
discharge within the scintillation device.
