Abstract
The high-voltage divider consists of a high-resistance linear resistiv e divider setting the potential distribution between photomultiplier e lectrodes and a circuit of emitter-follower amplifiers maintaining thi s distribution. The divider is characterized by a small current consum ption (similar to 300 mu A). In this case, the photomultiplier charact eristic remains linear up to a similar to 1.5-mA average current.
